Anything But Gray

Share one of your favorite quotes.

 I love quotes. I have more quotes, poems and snippets of lyrics, than I can count, set aside and saved to do something with someday. My art is "word based". I love the concept of turning words into art. I love the idea of something being intellectually stimulating and visually beautiful.

It's hard to pick a favorite quote. Actually, I don't really have a favorite, but here's one I love….it's from the movie "Fallen".

There
are moments which mark your life

Moments
when you realize nothing

 will ever be the same.

And
time is divided into two parts

 

Before
This

 and

 After This

 

Now
sometimes

 you can feel such a moment coming.

That's
the test, or so I tell myself.

I
tell myself that at times like that strong people

keep
moving forward anyway.

No
matter what they are going to find.

So love this…absolutely love the idea of pinpointing a major change in your life to a single instant.
And that's what our entire life is, an cumulation of a million "instants" and to be able to recognize the ones that changed you, I think there is a strength in that. In being so aware of what circumstances, choices and situations made you what you are. When you can recognize that,  therein lies the power to change yourself, better yourself, fix yourself or leave yourself just the way you are.
