Day 6 - Quotes to Live By

August 12th, 2006  |  Published in Uncategorized  |  1 Comment

For as long as I can remember, I have kept a book of quotes. Recently, I also started carrying a moleskin with me everywhere I go (to keep track of great ideas). Now, I think I’ll keep those great ideas to myself for now, but I would like to share with you some of my favorite quotes:

“The Worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.” ~Mark Twain

“I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself.” ~Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” ~Henry Ford

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” ~George Elliot

“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What you risk reveals what you value.” ~Jeanette Winterson

“Wisdom begins in wonder.” ~Socrates

“A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.” ~James Joyce

“Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous.” ~Voltaire

“It takes a long time to become young.” ~Pablo Picasso

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block.  Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography.  Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

 

Check. And Check.

 

Sometimes life just works out.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
