Words and More Words

Words are my inspiration. (I find inspiration from many sources but there is such power in a single word or phrase). The following quotes are just a random few of the ones that are currently bringing me much motivation and love.

"But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we see." 

- Neutral Milk Hotel, Aeroplane Over the Sea

"Every plan is a tiny prayer to Father time." 

- Death Cab for Cutie, What Sarah Said

"The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt." 

- Max Lerner

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." 

- T.S. Eliot

"I wanted a perfect ending... Now, I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity." 

- Gilda Radner

"Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It's the best anyone can do."  

- Ned, Pushing Daisies

"Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really 
hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." 

- Conan O'Brien

Here's to remembering the everlasting power of words, and using those words to inspire, uplift and cherish in the week and life ahead.
