quotes , poems , sayings
As we are watching a movie, reading a book, listening to a song or having a conversation with a good friend, there will that one line that just makes you think, frown or simply laugh out loud. Likely it is just me, who gets inspired by the strangest phrase, quote or a poem. In whatever form they appear as, many often strikes a note and place things into perspective. Perhaps what I like most about these short paragraphs are its ability to express an idea convincingly, rather instantly, instead of a say reading a whole book. Undeniably most of my favorites were from Dr Theodor Geisel, better known by his pen name Dr Seuss. His quirky rhymes never fail to remind me to smile no matter what challenges life throws at you....
