I have recently been working on finding quotes about a variety of concepts. I started by looking things up for my wall at work, where my Action for Happiness poster is a little lonely because I have taken down some photos – I need to change things up sometimes!
I have subsequently been looking for quotes for other things, and other people.
I am not sure why they help but they do. Perhaps it is the knowledge we are not alone in feeling something, or that a positive thought has a positive impact, or even that it gives us a different way of looking at things.
Whatever it is, it’s actually quite fun to look at lists of quotes. As you may remember I was even inspired by a quote to write my poem Cicero and now I am pulling together a new set list I may well use that technique again.
There is power in words to inspire, delight, agitate and infuriate – and all of these can spur the writing imagination. Plus you might find a comic gem or two along the way!
So quotes are now in my basket of writing tools to draw upon when I need to spur my imagination – or my sense of humour!
Happy writing,
EJ
