Quotes

Sometimes when I am having a not-so-magical day and the words just don't seem to flow, I look for inspiration. And quotes can usually do that.  

Here are some of my favorites. If you have any (whether they relate to writing or not!) please feel free to share yours in the comments section!

"Because it's only when you're tested that you discover who you truly are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work, faith and belief, and beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead." 
~One Tree Hill

"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart..." ~Carrie Bradshaw
