While doing some research on Emerson on the Internet, I found a site that contained 692 quotes from the famous Transcendental poet. essayist and philosopher. From my point of view, he's great for quotes.
And others are great for quotes about life and death -- and everything in between.
What I enjoy about quotes is that they contain nuggets of truth (or falsehood) that a person can ponder one at a time. Instead of being bombarded with numerous ideas and insights in one reading, we can take that one quote and concentrate on its meaning. It's not nearly as confusing.
I generally leave a quote on my Facebook page every morning that I find humorous, enlightening, wise, or simply stupid. My latest novel, Shooting Star, contains quotes from the legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden.
Since this blog primarily focuses on reading and writing, here are a few quotes I'd like to share:
"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." -- Mark Twain
"You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you've got something to say." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Until the next time...
