Lovely Words: Slaves of the Ordinary

Today's quote hits all the right spots in all the right places for how I've been feeling lately... I'll be carrying this one around with me for awhile. I hope you will too...

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."

-Cecil Beaton, Photographer

Lovely Words #1: The Future is the Past

I have always been incredibly inspired by writing, and have kept a 'quote' journal for many years. So I've decided to start posting some daily inspiration from my journals; some beautifully written phrases, and pieces of sweet love I've found along the way.

So here it goes....

"Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time? My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future."

-Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
