Sometimes I could go for hours reading quote after little saying and it never grows old. Enjoy!

I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions. ~James Michener

Ink on paper is as beautiful to me as flowers on the mountains; God composes, why shouldn't we? ~Terri Guillemets
A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one. ~Baltasar Gracián
