These are the best single women quotes you will find anywhere

There’s never been a better time to be a single woman.

We are getting closer and closer to equality (not fast enough but hey, progress is progress), we have more than proved we are capable of doing anything a man can do (and should soon be paid the same for doing it), we can have babies while we are single, we can purchase anything we want while we are single and our best holidays happen when we are single.

You’ll want to delete your Tinder app after this.

Sam Armytage“As I’ve said before I’m not going to date any more d ... heads so it has to be someone who’s in the right headspace. I don’t really want to waste any more time. I know it sounds lazy but I’d rather stay at home reading a book than go out on another appalling date. I’ve had my fair share.” Sam Armytage to Herald Sun.

Selena Gomez"Do not try to date me right now. I'd rather be around women than men. I think they are interesting, complicated, and beautiful." Selena Gomez to Refinery29.

Sandra Bullock

Rhianna"Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then. I'll give it to my family, I'll give it to my work but I will not give it to a man right now." Rhianna to Harper's Bazaar.

Queen Elizabeth I“If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.” Elizabeth I Collected Works

Nora Ephron“The desire to get married is a basic and primal instinct in women. It's followed by another basic and primal instinct: the desire to be single again.” Nora Ephron, Good Reads

Mindy Kaling"I don't need marriage. I don't need anyone to take care of my needs and desires. I can take care of them myself now." Mindy Kaling, Mic.com

Emilia Clarke"People keep asking me who I'm dating right now and the truth is...wait for [it]...no one. And that's OK. I'm figuring out a lot of stuff right now. I think as a woman it's in our nature to nurture someone else, sometimes at the expense of ourselves." Emilia Clarke, Mic.com

Drew Barrymore“It's ironic that we rush through being "single" as if it's some disease or malady to get rid of or overcome. The truth is, most likely, one day you will meet someone and it will be gone. And once it's gone, it's really gone! Why does no one tell us how important it is to enjoy being single and being by yourself? That time is defining and amazing and nothing to "sure". It is being alone that will actually set you up the best for being with someone else.” Drew Barrymore, Wildflower

Delta Goodrem“I look forward to that, but I always knew I’d be [married] later in life. I always said I’d be surprised if that happened prior to being 40. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well and I know I’m not there yet. That time will come. Right now, I’m just enjoying knowing myself.” Delta Goodrem, Sunday Style

Diane Keaton“I wouldn’t rule [marriage] out, but at the same time, I do not see that in my future. I mean, there’s a certain point in your life where you can’t help it, you’re biologically charged and driven towards the opposite sex. You dream about men, you love them, you’re excited by it, and I don’t feel that way now. There’s a kind of freeing aspect to that.” Diane Keaton, Singular City

Coco Chanel“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.” Coco Chanel, Good Reads

Charlize Theron“I’ve been in serious relationships from the time I was 19 and I’m single for the first time in my life since then. I had to make a real conscious effort to rediscover myself and it’s hard. I’m a creature who really found her comfort zone in relationships. But there’s something really powerful in being OK with being alone, especially for women.” Charlize Theron, Mirror UK

Rebel Wilson"Doing whatever you want, whenever you want, I'm very attached to that. If I just want to go on a holiday, I go on a holiday. If I just feel like going on a hike today or sleeping in today, eat whatever... I'm not very accustomed to compromise." Rebel Wilson, KIIS FM
