sharing some favorite quotes

i love quotes, especially quotes about writing, dreaming, coming alive. i haven't shared any in quite some time. since i have so many new followers, i thought it was time.

today i thought i'd post some about dreams, and i'm starting with the quote that keeps me going when i'm not sure i'm supposed to be writing:

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~ Howard Thurman

when i write, i come alive, and when i come alive, the people around me come alive.

The dream you don’t fight for will haunt you for the rest of your life. ~ from the movie Robots

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. ~ Teddy Roosevelt

There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, “Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course I’ve got dreams.” Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they’re still there. ~ Erma Bombeck
