Among the real heroines in the world who will come into the Church are women who are more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish. These real heroines have true humility, which places a higher value on integrity than on visibility. Remember, it is as wrong to do things just to be seen of women as it is to do things to be seen of men. Great women and men are always more anxious to serve than to have dominion.

Spencer W. Kimball

I have a fondness for writing about precocious, troubled teenagers, who are alienating, but kind of endearing. It's from remembering so clearly that time in my own life. I experienced myself as more dramatically troubled than I was, but I just remember how it felt.

Ann Hood

My heroes and heroines are often unlikely people who are dragged into situations without meaning to become involved, or people with a past that has never quite left them.

I wanted to avoid what some modern tellers have done, quite legitimately, to make fairy tales more like novels and short stories, to characterize the heroes and the heroines much more than they are characterized in Grimm.

Philip Pullman

In most of my stories, I give a lot of importance to heroines. My heroines are not just glamour dolls.

P. Vasu

Why some gonococcal strains are more resistant than others is still not clear.

Gerhard Domagk

I always found the witches and wicked stepmothers far more interesting than the 'heroines' - at least they actually did something.

Sarah Pinborough

Maybe actors are more passionate about cinema than actresses. Many heroines today seem unable to look beyond glamour.

Radha Ravi

More people are troubled by what is plain in Scripture than by what is obscure.

Roy L. Smith

Very well,” Beatrix said reluctantly. “But I warn you, they may be resistant to the match.” “I’m resistant to the match,” Christopher informed her. “At least we’ll have that in common.

It is distrust of God to be troubled about what is to come; impatience against God to be troubled with what is present; and anger at God to be troubled for what is past.

Simon Patrick

Often the true hero and heroines of my books are the houses, the places, the communities where people find a home.

Jackie French

We all recall the cruel stepmother in fairy tales. That archetype is often a necessary element in a fairy tale so that the heroine/hero can become a person of character and power. Stories of heroes and heroines often begin with a wound or loss or injustice and end with heroic acts of restoration.
