An extension of my quote fetish

"A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving"
-Lao Tzu

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go"
-T.S. Eliot

Life: It's just a cereal.

Love is finding perfection in an imperfect person.

"Every artist dips his brush into his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures"
-Henry Ward Beecher

"Every artist was first an amateur"
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast"
-Oscar Wilde

"I have never, let my schooling interfere with myeducation"
-Mark Twain

"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars"
-Charles A. Beard

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear"
-Ambrose Redmoon

"The important thing is to be able to sacrifice what we are for what we could be"
- Charles DuBois"

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it"

One of my favorites:

"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other"
-Douglas Everett

A thought to leave you with:

I believe the higher use of imagination is in harmony with the use of conscience to transcend self and creat a life od contribution based on unique purpose and onthe principles that govern interdependent reality.

(though I am not sure where that paragraph is from.. it seems fitting none the less.)
