I like to write.

I carry a notebook with me 95% of the time.

This notebook provides a safeguard of sorts. When I’m reading and come across a brilliant idea I write it down. When I’m talking to someone about an idea and I read I have my notebook handy to recall more accurately.

I stumbled upon a notebook I had used in the past and a page titled “quotes to live by”.

This post is dedicated to those quotes.
