Quotations

(I have a terrible clutter problem when it comes to quotes. I tack them up everywhere, in my home, on my blog. A dangerous addiction, I tell you!
So I decided to gather my favorites together here and make some space on my refrigerator and homepage. Enjoy!)

It's the job that's never started that takes the longest to finish. -J. R. R. Tolkien


Inspiration usually comes during work rather than before it. -Madeleine L'Engle


The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark. -Michelangelo
