Q is for Quotes.
Quotes. I've got a million of them, as I am sure you do too. I keep them around for inspiration, vindication and food for thought. Quotes can be a window into another's way of thinking or a echo of your own. A quote can be a summary of a grand thought or a creative way to express a simple one.
For all the reasons above and more, I collect quotes like butterflies and pin them into my little world for safe keeping. Over 30 years worth of them at this point. Here are just a few...
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.' Benjamin Franklin, 'Pennsylvania Assembly: Reply to the Governor,' November 11, 1755."
"For every evil under the sun, there is a remedy, or there is none. If there be one, seek till you find it; If there be none, never mind it.

"Fiction writers, present company included, don't understand very much about what they do-"not why it works when it's good, not why it doesn't when it's bad."

"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."

"The forces which move the cosmos are -no different from those which move the human soul." ~ Lama Anagarika Govinda

Hi Nicole--new follower via IWSG :) These quotes are great! Thanks for giving me something to think about today!
ReplyDeleteI love the Fitzgerald one - one of my main challenges when I write is not letting all of my characters ultimately sound like me!
