She saw beyond her 'provincial life' and she saw beyond the exterior of the Beast, giving him a chance that few other people would. Belle also doesn't take sh*t from anyone, including the Beast. She's a badass who loves books, and she inspires all of us to be as awesome." — Hilary White, editor, Smart Living and Love and Sex
