The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt that it didn’t matter.

Langston Hughes

quote marks at start of quotation

Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

W.H. Auden

quote marks at start of quotation

Well, who in his own backyard / Has not opened his heart to the smiling / Secret he cannot quote? / Which goes to show that the Bard / Was sober when he wrote / That this world of fact we love / Is unsubstantial stuff: / All the rest is silence / On the other side of the wall; / And the silence ripeness, / And the ripeness all.

E.B. White

August 17, 2018 By Martha

Writing is hard work and bad for the health.

When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

William Faulkner

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

Oliver Goldsmith

August 13, 2018 By Martha

Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.

Howard Pyle

Be it known that the spiritual world in outward appearance is entirely similar to the natural world.

My earliest memory of anything is kindergarten-age me, sitting in the school library (a couple of rolling shelves in a hallway) with a book in my lap.
The #beautyinmytwitterfeed this morning is made of words, and sums up my whole reading life. 📚📘♥️

digital selfcare... love it.
I do all these digital things - am always baffled when people say there's too much anger, violence etc in their twitterfeed... take the time to curate your followers - it pays off.
