I enjoy reading inspirational quotes. One of my favorites is from Walt Disney — "If you can dream it, you can do it." Have a great weekend!

I just listened to the afterword in one of Stephen King's novella collections and it was pretty powerful stuff. He wrote about how literary fiction puts extraordinary people in ordinary situations but he prefers to put ordinary people in extraordinary situations. He also wrote about people who say that fiction/storytelling is dead and said it never will be...because stories help us understand each other better.

He is wise! I loved On Writing.

Books really are portable magic. I'm trying to teach my nephews that. :) Lovely images!

Excellent quotes! One of my favorites has always been: "It’s Never Too Late To Be What You Might Have Been" usually attributed to George Eliot.

I love inspirational quotes (and funny animal memes), both of which you can find on my blog whenever I draw a blank about a post topic. LOL! My favorite quote is: <b>"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams.</b> Yup. That's my life. Deadlines whooshing past.

Huh. Apparently html code isn't allowed. Just ignore that bracketed "b" code... (That's what I get for trying to be clever.)

Not sure why the HTML didn't work!

My favorite was the first. The only one truly limiting us is ourselves.
