Day 14-Favorite Quotes
I have so many favorite quotes that its hard to choose.
So if you haven’t already guessed it, today’s prompt was….
What is your favorite quote? Mine changes a lot because different things inspire me during the different seasons in my life. Quotes are powerful reminders of the wisdom we can gather and share with others.
Of course I had to pick some of my favorite quotes written by Neil Gaiman. Of course my favorite quote from him is like a paragraph long so I decided to go with the shorter quotes for my page. Plus this one was a tad negative so I tried to pick quotes of his that sent a sort of positive message.
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
See you tomorrow with prompt 15.
