Quotes From The Soul



"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends. They are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” – Charles W. Eliot


Written Works Collection: Quotes

I love quotes because they inspire me and make me think. Throughout the years I have written quotes that have come to me at the spur of the moment, or from something I was experiencing at the time. The following are some of the quotes from my collection.

“People have thanked me for adding light to their life. For me that is my greatest accomplishment and a testament to why I am here.”

“I read what I write and am amazed that at one time I meant what I wrote, I felt and lived it, there was a connection. But now, as I read it back, there is nothing I feel for those words on the page.”

“I have discovered life is a puzzle. You don’t always know where the pieces go, but you slowly figure it out until they fit.”

“Writing liberates my soul”.

“It is cold and gray out, but I will lighten the day with my pen.”

“A journal without a special pen cannot be. The pen must write freely across the page, not stopping, just flowing with words. Words that become images that are alive again when someone reads them.”

“There is a song for each of us to sing. The song lightens our load and unleashes our writer’s soul.”

“You cannot grow if you stay in a box.”

“At the end of the day, when all is said and done, ask yourself: Does this person add something to my life or take something away? Only if the person adds to your life, should you stay.”

“Make the time for your life. Imagine yourself where you want to be. Dare yourself to be free.”

Ana, you have so much wisdom! I'll need to quote you one of these days:) The only one that I could come up for me:
"Time to engage the creative me." I say that often to myself when I want to write my poetry.

I love it! I might you it myself. :}

Ana,
Your quote helped get a good conversation started on my blog. I hope it steered several readers to your site. And, I just found out today that you have another site with jump-start ideas for writing. It is very helpful. I just wrote a one page radio devotional with one of your ideas on "How to use a day off."

Very inspiring. I like your quote about not growing in a box. It speaks very well to me. So true.

Ana V. said...

Warren-I am glad that you have found the things I write useful to use. That makes me feel good. I would like to read the devotional, is it on your site?
