Week 15: List Your Favorite Quotes
I love quotes. I love that it's a thing in our world that there are certain words other people say that we love so much we would keep them with us and bring them out when we need them most. Humans are so wonderful that way, don't you think? Here are some of the words of other people that are special to me:
"There are seven days in the week. 'Someday' isn't one of them." - Unknown
"All I need today is a little bit of coffee and a whole lotta Jesus." - Unknown
"Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you." - Else de Wolfe
"Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars." - Serbian Proverb
"Life itself is the most wonderful fairytale." - Hans Christian Anderson
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9
"Heroes get remembered, but legends never die." - The Sandlot
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." - Walt Disney
"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly." - Rose Franken
"Maybe our favorite quotes say more about us than the stories and people we are quoting." - attributed to John Green
"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite." - Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Those are some of my favorite quotes. The list is ever changing (except that last one) so maybe I'll do a round-up of my favorite quotes sometime in the future when I've got some new ones to share. We shall see.
What about you? What are some of your favorite words from other people? Let me know in comments or with a list of your own!
Love,
Willow

Love the quotes! A good quote can be so powerful! I actually have a whole notebook of quotes. Hard to pick a favorite, but here's one that stands out to me tonight: "Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved."
ReplyDeleteI had a commonplace book in college that I collected quotes in but for the life of me I can't find it! I love your quote, Jennifer - I find myself needing a reminder like that more often than not. Thanks for stopping by. :)
