I was looking out the window at the rainy wet street and thinking how much better that is than the blizzard swept streets of a year ago. Sometimes rain is good, sometimes it just fits the mood.
Many times I have said how much I love a good quote and I sprinkle them liberally through my tumblr pages (Quotes). It's rare for one of them not to get a like or two and some turn out to be quite liked. Below are some of the more popular ones from the past few months. Each one has a minimum ten likes or reblogs with the first having a total of 366 so far. Taken together they seem to tell a story all their own.
(I'm going to break all the rules of writing here and not use quotation marks so they flow better or maybe because I'm an aesthetics freak as much as a quote one.)
Show me a hero, and I’ll write you a tragedy. - F. Scott Fitzgerald
She looked at me like I was crazy. Most of my lovers do, and that’s partly why they love me, and partly why they leave. - Jeanette Winterson
Yesterday’s weirdness is tomorrow’s reason why. - Hunter S. Thompson
If you want to work on your art, work on your life. - Anton Chekhov
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself. - Albert Camus
Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations. - George Orwell
One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.
- Jack Kerouac
'Think how you love me,’ she whispered. ‘I don’t ask you to love me always like this, but I ask you to remember.' - F. Scott Fitzgerald

In many ways a good quote is like a good photo. You may not agree with what the quote says, you may not even like it, but once you see or hear the quote it makes you think. It is short but with its few words it can make you think more than an afternoon of reading.
Sound bites from the past.
