These 12 quotes are some of my favourite from writers, celebrities, scientists, and more that seem to resonate. It’s amazing how a few simple words can be all you need to kick-start your next adventure!
“Don’t quit your daydream”
—Unknown
“Coming back to where you started is not the same as not leaving.”
—Terry Pratchett
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing”
—Ben Franklin
“If I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be this: don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do. Seek out people who aren’t afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes. Because of that, their work often isn’t recognized, but they are precisely the kind of people who change the world.”
—from Aleph by Paulo Coelho
“I like things to happen. And if they don’t happen, I like to make them happen.”
—Winston Churchill
“Attitude is the difference between an ordeal and an adventure.”
—Unknown
“Realize your youth while you have it. Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious,
trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common,
and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age.
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you.
Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”
—from The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
“I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not.
I write to explore all the things that I’m afraid of.”
—Joss Whedon
“I want to be around people that do things. I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things.”
—Amy Poehler
“Some things aren’t meant to be tamed. For example, YOU.”
—Unknown
“The only think you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”
—Albert Einstein
“Although no one can go back and make a brand new start,
anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”
—Carl Bard
