For the past few years, I have kept a list of my favorite quotes. I keep them for inspiration and in hopes that I may be able to use them sometime in the future to augment my writing. Here are a handful for starters:

“What is to give light must endure burning.”

          –Viktor Frankl

“The ‘18-40-60 Rule’: at 18 you care what everyone thinks, at 40 you don’t care what anyone thinks and at 60 you realize no one ever cared about what you thought, they were busy worrying about themselves.”

          –Dr. Daniel Amen

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

          –Dr. Seuss

“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.”

          –Bob Dylan

“Be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become.”

          –W.E.B. Du Bois
