Quote It!

Check my Twitter, and you’ll see that (practically) every other tweet is a quote.  Check my Facebook, and you’ll see that half of my About Me is the Quotation section.  Check my room’s whiteboard and again, you’ll see quotes, quotes, quotes.

Marilyn Monroe by James Gill

I am not a writer.  I do not enjoy it, and I do not excel at it.  Creating meaningful groupings of words is not my creative outlet of choice.  However, I seem drawn to powerful/inspirational lines, phrases and excerpts.  If we all had to study writing as a life requirement (indulge me for a sec), my concentration would be in Quotations.

I love interpreting them, sharing them & even occasionally, creating them.  They share varied ideas that have stood the test of time.  They give advice backed by the experience of others. They can lift your spirits, make you stronger, let you know that someone else has been in your shoes.  And personally, they help me give better advice.

They are a big part of my life and why I’ve dedicated a blog category to them: Quotable Quote.

The Bible, a great source!

Okay, I’ll stop my I love Quotes rant now before I start to droning on.  Below you will find a list of quotes that have inspired me these the past few years.  They are my constants and you will find them on my Twitter, Facebook, whiteboard…etc.
