Quoted

I saw this amazing quote today and had to share it...

"All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on."  

-Henry Havelock Ellis-

The former quote is quite amazing in its own right and is the reason why I started reading The Secret Life of Bees, which thus far is a such a beautiful read.  It's poetic and raw and moving.  I loved the movie and the book is proving to be even better--as is typically the case.  Anyway, here is a quote pulled from The Secret Life of Bees:

 
"It's something everybody wants--for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters." 

-Sue Monk Kidd-

Quoted

New quote!  New quote!  I'm thinking I need to read The Secret Life of Bees pronto because it is chalk full of goodness based on the various quotes I've read that come from it.  So here is one that hits you in the gut with truth and a vast deepness...

"It's something everybody wants--for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters." -Sue Monk Kidd-

I loved the former "Quoted" quote so much that I doodled it and placed it front and center on my desk...

We've got ourselves a new quote thanks to a Facebook posting from To Write Love On Her Arms.  Here we go now...

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." -Scott Adams-

And the former quote was...

"And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time." -Libba Bray-

Yeah, I love quotes.  Can ya tell?

You are laden with beginnings...
There is hope in you...”

-Lola Ridge-

Current quote: 
"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.  I hope you read some fine books, and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art--write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.  And I hope somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."
-Neil Gaiman-

I'm going to start "archiving" the quotes on the right hand side of my blog. I'll post them on my blog every time I update them that way I...you...we can find them later on because I love, love, love quotes.

So today I updated the quote to the following:

“You are full of unshaped dreams...
You are laden with beginnings...
There is hope in you...”
-Lola Ridge-

And the former quote was:

"For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day."
-Evelyn Underhill-

I'll probably do the same with my "I Suggest" section as well...

Here's to another week! I hope it's a good one!
