Don't Quote Me?




Who says that? Quotes are for the taking, cute blurbs gone, grab them!!! My friend, Jamie R. has journals filled with quotes of the famous and not-so famous. At any time, a good read, in fact she let me borrow them while recovering once from surgery, a healing tool.
So when I stumbled , on purpose, upon this book My Life Is A Verb or Life Is A Verb or Verb Something!!! I became delighted at the authors own quotes, and those she borrowed to add 'good stuff' to her book. Here are, a mere few, to make you think, copy, and think some more.

Never confuse action with movement-

I can't imagine living life without a big wad of 3-by-5 inch index cards-

To be a person is to have a story to tell-
-Isak Dinesen
We are all only one step away from losing the stories of our lives-

Being practical and safe and always logical is very overrated-

Nine tenths of education is encouragement-
- Anatole France
How do we hold love for others, with no agenda?

Quantum physics tells us that the presence watching an experiment changes the experiment; the act of observing affects what is observed-

Perhaps(good word) we can recognize our way out of patterns rather than repeat our way out of them-

My favorite, JUST WAVE!!!! such a simple thing we can all do, just wave!!!!

I highlighted sixty-six wonderful words, sentences and quotes from this book. Life is a verb: 37 Days to Wake Up ..........by Patti Digh.

The palest ink is better than the sharpest memory.
-Chinese proverb

Read this book, and remember to wave. Everything, yes, is a metaphor. No quotation marks around any of my quotes, go figure??
