Last night, Glamour Magazine honored the 2014 Women of the Year: Lupita Nyong’o, Sarah Burton, Chelsea Clinton, Laverne Cox, Mindy Kaling, Samantha Power, Robin Roberts, Natalia Vodianova, Sylvia Earle, and The Bravest Girls in the World. The gala took place at Carnegie Hall in New York City and included a performance by Haim as well as words from each honoree and celebrity presenters. The inspiring event left us with many words of wisdom, so we've rounded up some of the best quotes from the evening. Click through our slideshow and try not to cry.
