Source list for all featured quotes on Dare to be Fabulous

How do you know if a quote is authentic? 

The majority of quotes posted and shared online, especially on social media, do not cite their original sources. Many quotes are incorrectly written, and some even cite the wrong person, but their accuracy isn’t questioned and they continue to spread. At a time when disinformation is rampant, it becomes even more important to fact-check for accuracy and to give credit where it’s due.

To that end, I researched every quote that is featured on this website, in the Dare to be Fabulous book, and (the 50+ quotes) in the Dare to be Fabulous Journal Notebook, to ensure that all the quotes are authentic and appropriately cited. Below is the list of sources I found for each quote.

If you post or share one of these featured quotes, please consider citing its source (below) alongside it, or provide a link to this webpage for reference.

Thanks!
