The Elbert Hubbard one really speaks to me. Thanks for the reminder to step boldly (and to remember with writing, I can always revise later!).
Great quotes, and a great choice for 'M'. Confrontational, in a good way.
I like that "ah, interesting!" one.
A recovering perfectionist. Hehe, very cute. I shall go forth and do foolish things with enthusiasm, as Collette commands. ;)
And by the way---AWESOME guess of Orson Welles as Robin Masters in Magnum P.I.! That's exactly right. :)
I love that quote by Edward Phelps. Thanks for sharing these. It's a great reminder to celebrate our humanity.. :P
