Every once in a while, I come across a quote or two which stays with me. I find that they somehow capture my imagination, infuse my dreams and allow my synapses to fire at a faster rate.

May the following three quotes give you as much pleasure as they did me.

“I’d rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than to be crowded on a velvet cushion.” ~ Thoreau

“My fingers emit sparks of fire with expectation of my future labors.” ~ Blake

“Watching the moon at midnight, solitary, mid-sky, I know myself completely, no part left out.” ~ Isumi Shikibu
