Reblogged this on nhicksbunao.
Be afraid. I collect quotes. I collect many things besides poems, qiotes are at the top with films. I will work on this later today and try to figure out which I would say are my top ten. Yours are great by the way. They are quite gppd phisophicallu speaking. J.K. ps. see you later or early early tomorrow.
Never afraid 🙂
Looking forward to your top ten. If I don’t comment. Come back to me here as I have a stupid amount of emails to go through & I may miss it 🙂
It has been submitted but i just couldn’t stop at just ten. it’s like certain foods-can’t just eat just one slice of pizza with extra cheese et al. so i ended up creating a post of inspiration and if i am not mistaken I believed i thanked you for the inspiration by posting a link to your blog. hope that was alright. on my way to sleep but first i get to play with my new roku and hdtv in the bedroom. only set it up on rising this afternoon. also, want to check on a poem i wrote last night and i have no idea what i might have written. we will see. i know it is something i did not want to share, i think. thanks J.K. 🙄
No that’s fine 🙂
Here they are:
Top Ten Favorite Quotations
1. “I believe that Imagination is stronger than Knowledge. That Myth is more potent than Reality That Dreams are more powerful than Facts That Hope always triumphs over Experience. That Laughter is the only cure for Grief And I believe that Love is stronger than Death.” ~ Robert Fulgham~
2. “Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.” ~C.S. Lewis~
3. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” ~Mark Twain~
4. “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.” ~William Shakespeare~
5. “Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.” ~Carl Sagan~
6. “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” ~Hilary Cooper~
7. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” ~Albert Einstein~
8. “…his raptures were,
all air, and fire, which made his verse clear
For that fine madness still he did retain
Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.”
~Michael Drayton~
9. “Poets: have been singularly creatures of passion…emotions is the condition of their existence; passion is the element of their Being…the intensifying power of such a state if passion must also be remembered, for emotion of itself naturally heightens all the faculties, and genius burns the brighter in its own flames” ~George Edward Woodbury~
10. “Men have called me mad, but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence…whether much that is glorious–whether all that is profound–does not spring from disease of thought…” ~ Edgar Allan Poe~
It was quite difficult to narrow down to top ten. J.K.
I know I found it hard picking mine too. God job on yours though 🙂
Well, I don’t have any favorite quotes off the top of my head, but the last two of yours are wonderful. I like the others, but those two…Yep. Oh! And the 15-32 one.
Glad you liked them
