Potent Quotables
I collect quotes
like feathers to line my cozy nest of thoughts
like verbal artwork to adorn the walls of my mind
like weapons to arm myself against the uncertain and the inevitable
like jewels to bedeck myself in the wisdom and wit of others
like mirrors to reflect my own inchoate thoughts and ideas
like windows to open my vista to new and challenging views
like anchors to hold me fast and keep me grounded
like wings to carry me above and into fresher air
If I can't have any truly original thoughts of my own, at the very least I should rethink the great thoughts of others.
