People are sharing their favourite Beyonce quotes and they're incredible

There is nothing like a good quote, especially when it comes from a literary scholar, an iconic symbol and living and breathing queen.

That’s right – there was once a William Shakespeare and there is now a Beyonce Knowles-Carter.

Whether you know it or not the Queen of Excellence has many 'quotables' and members of the loyal Beyhive (otherwise known as Beyonce’s legion of fans) have been sharing their favourite Beyonce quotes online.

It all began when user, @ltephani, asked Twitter to share their favourite Bey sayings. And without needing much prompting the Internet flocked to contribute to this little piece of research.

We’ve shared some of our favourites...
