Favorite quotations
Please share what inspires you, has touched you or is in some way memorable for you. I'm very fond of quotes by writers that give me a peek inside their skulls, like this one. :)

Kay, I have a quote that has helped keep my sanity. It's mine and it goes "Circumstances dictate." :)...and by the way, check out the video I uploaded called Steel Gray Days. It's the little piece inspired from your post in the group poetry, I believe....if memory serves...:)

Circumstances dictate.
I'm thinking on that....dictate everything? Let me chew that over awhile. :) And I'll go check out your video now. Good to hear that something I did inspired you. Hope it was me LOL. Dashing there as we speak. :)

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Albert Einstein
The abillity to imagine and ream is what truly defines us and I think it is very important that we are very careful for this with our children as well. There is so much to bring us down in the world in the media etc that we must always cherish those positive forces and influences in our and our families lives.
Stimulate the ability to positively imagine 'what if!'. Encourage creativity and nurture ideas and the power to reach our own conclusions.
Most of all have fun and help those around you to have the same.

I like it. Very true. I mean, if we didn't have to deal with our personal demons, then we wouldn't have a reason for our guardian angels. 0:)

Besides, people say that crazy people have their own imagination and only a crazy character could come up with the thoughts they have, so the authors have to be crazy to come up with crazy ideals. :)

Me too. You can't be much of a writer if you don't have an imagination, I reckon. :) It's great to see you, Viviana!
