“That is the dream of all novelists—that one of their characters will become ‘somebody.’”
José Saramago
1998
my favorite quote for today anyway...
"Everyone thinks of changing the World but no one thinks of changing himself."
-Leo Tolstoy
Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work it's way into your consciousness. - Caroline Myss
A mantra my husband and I are adapting as we get ready to full-time RV
You don't always get what you pay for, but you always pay for what you get.
From famous boxer Muhammad Ali
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
The English (and prolific) writer, Philip Pullman has a take on one of Ali's most well-known quotes:
"Read like a butterfly, write like a bee."
I like that.
"The work you do when you procrastinate, is probably the work you should do for the rest of your life" Good times, yeah.... Jessica Hische
Yes be good for something and live it .that is the difference .good quote.
"Maybe the sole purpose of your existence is to serve as a warning to others." despair.com
(If all my feeble attempts to leave something meaningful behind end up failing (as seems to be the pattern of my life), at least I have the what-not-to-do example to offer It's quite comforting to me! )
From my late father:
It is better to die and leave (in terms of liquid assets) than to live and want.
From me:
It is far better to want children and can't have them than to have children and not want them.
From the late James Brown from one of his songs in 60s regarding staying in school:
Without an education, one might as well be dead.
This is fun! Such lovely quotes! Here's one of mine!
"Although we hail from different lands, we share one earth, sky and sun. Remember friends, the world is one."
This line is from The Song of Peace by late Indian singing legend Mohammad Raffi.
