I often look to nature, the arts, architecture, and design for inspiration, but there's also just something special about encouraging words. I compiled a list of some quotes that I'm loving and find to spark creativity or a sense of peace.
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt
“I am rooted, but I flow.” ― Virginia Woolf
“A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms.” ― Zen Shin
"There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart."
― Jane Austen
"Happiness, not in another place but in this place... not for another hour, but this hour."
― Walt Whitman
"There are always flowers for those who want to see them."
― Henri Matisse
"Normality is a paced road: it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow."
― Vincent van Gogh
"The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you for anyone but inspire them?
― Bob Dylan
During a season where I am struggling to find my peace, but feel an abundance of inspiration without a clear outlet, I love reading the wise words of others for encouragement. I hope these words speak to someone else as they have me.
What a good way to start the week!
