Sublime Rhyme: Inspiration by Dr. Seuss

20 Jul 2010 | By Justine

I’m sure no one who knows me would be at all surprised to learn that Dr. Seuss is one of my guiding stars. I grew up reading his stories; and upon reaching adulthood (well, legally, anyway – as I tell people, I have an “Inner Adult”) his words have inspired me. This is just a random collection if images and rhyme I reflect upon from time to time (because random is the way to play, when you’re playmate is Theodor Geisel.)

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

The more that you read,
The more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
The more places you’ll go.

So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life’s a great balancing act.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.

If you never did, you should. These things are fun. And Fun is good.

A person’s a person, no matter how small.

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.

Squeekie: My Favorite Stephen King Quote

17 Jul 2010 | By Justine

I adore interesting quotes. Growing up with a professional writer for a father, who shared his passion for writing and storytelling practically from the cradle, I suppose it was only natural. I enjoy sharing the ones I’ve read, and hearing what golden nuggets others have to offer. But…just writing it up and posting a quote now and then seems a bit…well, boring. Sooooo….I’m going to design a nifty image that matches the quote, when I find my fancy struck by the urge. Here’s one of my all time favorites; a Stephen King quote my Dad shared with me many, many years ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years…and maybe your fancy will be struck by an urge to share it with others, too.
