Edith Wharton Quotes for Women’s History Month

A few quotes by Edith Wharton (first woman to win the pulitzer prize) for women’s history month:

“Life is always either a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope.”

“There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one’s self, the very meaning of one’s soul.”

“In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.”
~ Edith Wharton (1862-1937)
