Hi, guys! Geof here.

So I finally got around to working on an art journal, and I'm filling a nice, large journal at the moment. (I think it's like, 12''x8''? I dunno, it's a guesstimate.) I have a lot of decent magazine clippings, but here's the problem: I can't seem to find the right quotes/lyrics/etc. to post onto the pages to go alongside them.

Not trying to plug my blog, but I actually posted my favourite excerpt from a book there yesterday!

I've been re-looking for this post forEVER so I could thank the person that posted it (you). I loved this quote so much that I bought the book, and it's the best book I've read in a while, so thank you :)

You're welcome!!! I'm so happy you went out and got it, because the J.S. Foer love needs to be shared :)

I keep lists of my favorite quotes and lyrics on listography: here and here. Also, my best friend likes to give me advice like "Don't be afraid to let your heart go sailing" and "Hit it hard with the bat of love" and those are definitely two of my favorite sayings haha. Hope you find what you're looking for!

I've had these wrote down for years, so I'm not sure where most of them are from, but ( ... )

I reckon any Patti Smith lyrics are great, also radiohead and Springsteen. Of course the Beatles! eg. "All the World is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much." (It's All Too Much) "And in the End/ the love you take/ is equal to the love/ you make" (The End, Abbey Road)
Err, lemme grab some good quotes.
"You should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest and folkdancing." - Arnold Bax quoting 'a sympathetic Scot.'
"I seemed to hang in the heart of chaos, beyond the touch or voice of human aid." - Zora Neale Hurston.
“When I have a little money, I buy books. If any is left over, I buy food and clothes.” - Erasmus
"We have unlimited juice? This party's gonna be OFF THE HOOK!" - Buster, Arrested Development (ANYTHING off Arrested Development is a fantastic quote)
And some Einstein quotes: http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/EinsteinQuotes.html
