Quotes

I’m trying to narrow down my favorites quotes to two, for my first go round with the mixed media art projects.  I’m fairly certain I will use my favorite love quote:

“Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create a sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world.”- Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

Now I just need to pick one other quote.  Some competitors are:

“If she was beautiful at rest she was doubly so awake.  Asleep she was a painting of fire.  Awake she was the fire itself.”- Patrick Rothfuss,The Wise Man’s Fear

“I was on the front porch, drowning a mouse in a bucket when this van pulled up, which was strange.”- David Sedaris, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

“Her voice was full of the frazzle and crackle of music.”- Rob Sheffield, love is a mix tape

 

An original quote would be perfect.  Maybe I should work on that.  I never feel as if anything I say is really that poignant, enough to create a quote out of it.  I’ll try that today, I jot down anything poetic or worthwhile that pops in my head.  Look out!
