you said it best – the winners!
before i left on vacation i held a reader giveaway, and oh how you kids made me proud! i asked you to submit your favorite quotes – ones that inspired you, or got you thinking. over 220 of you shared some really remarkable quotes and many of them really touched me. i’ve chosen three winners, which was mighty difficult to narrow down!
each of the three of you will receive a new moleskine journal to keep track of that which inspires you — an email is winging its way towards you now! thanks so much to everyone for contributing such thoughtful words. here’s the ones that really got to me personally:
– via rachel @ every jelly bean
– via kirby @ the short & sweet of it
– via alice @ following rabbits
pretty sure the “impossible things before breakfast” is from Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
erica, yes – it is (i credited him just below the quote). :)
Victoria – you credited C.S. Lewis (not Lewis Carroll) … Erica’s right.
oh dear – y’all are right!! i was just copying from kirby’s quote and wasn’t thinking!! will fix asap. thanks girls. doh!
The six things quotes is from Alice in Wonderland, and that is by Lewis Carroll. CS Lewis is responsible for The Screwtape Letters and the Narnia Chronicles.
thanks shana – i’ve fixed it. a little late night blogging…thanks girls! :)
These quotes are so great. I have to go back to the original post and read through them all. : )
I’ve been looking for that Monroe quote for awhile!
Thank you! That was such a lovely contest to enter. Reading all of the other quotations as I scrolled down the page to enter was a joy, as was thinking of a beautiful quote to choose as my own entry.
I was stunned by the quote from Marilyn Monroe, it said so much with so few words.
michel – i know. i loved it, too.
