Alright, everyone, I’ve stumbled across a few amazing quotes during my reading. So I figured I should share them. Along with that, I want to hear what quotes everyone else has picked up too. (If you want you can quote song lyrics) Just use this topic to discuss and share them.
“Telling a story is like reaching into a granary full of wheat and drawing out a handful. There is always more to tell than can be told.” -From the book, Jayber Crow, by Wendell Berry.
“The very existence of great stories and stirring music and good art is a sermon itself. That anyone would set their sad heart and tired hands to the work of wreaking beauty out of chaos is a monument to Grace. It reminds us of light and high beauty, and it laments the world’s great sorrow. It gives the heart language to rejoice and language to mourn.” -Andrew Peterson.

“There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don’t see them.” —Elie Wiesel
@Kate-Flournoy, I think you’ll appreciate this one.@Emma-Flournoy ummmmmmmm… yeah. All in the subtext, deary.
Let’s see… one of my favorite quotes, not necessarily about writing, but about life, which is about writing in a way… or is writing about life? I don’t remember anymore. 😛 Anyway, I love this quote. It’s attributed to William Wallace.
Every man dies. Not every man truly lives.
some of my favorites is from a poem called the Hero, these are just lines I picked and choosed from the poem, but the entire thing is good.
“It was very great and noble,”
Said the moist-eyed listener then,
“But one brave deed makes no hero;
Tell me what he since hath been!”
…
“But dream not helm and harness
The sign of valor true;
Peace hath higher tests of manhood
Than battle ever knew”
…
“Wherever rise the peoples,
Wherever sinks a throne,
The throbbing heart of Freedom finds
An answer in his own.”Oh a couple more because these are just too good:
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertion and passionate concern of dedicated individuals
-Martin Luther King Jr.Behold the turtle. he makes progress only when he sticks his neck out
-James Bryant Conant@warrioroftherealm Love that quote! (I love your profile picture too, by the way)
Life is too short for reading inferior books
– James BryceINTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
Great quote @hope 🙂 🙂 🙂
