Whenever I read books, I like highlighting inspirational quotes.
from the Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo: The lake was silent for sometime. Finally it said, "I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus is beautiful. I weep, because each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected."

Nice discussion, Patzi_md. I will visit it often.
I think that I still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with fhe front yellow and pink in the evening... like a light in the midst of the darkness. ~ Vincent van Gogh

From the message in a bottle by Nicholas Sparks: "If you discovered something that made you tighten inside, you had to try to learn more about it. If you simply ignored the feeling. You would never know what might happen. And in many ways, what was worse than finding out that you were wrong in the first place. Because if you were wrong, you could go forward in your life without ever looking back on your shoulder and wondering what might have been."

Since I like to be creative I have made a few quotes myself.
"What the eyes can't see, the heart will find."
"You ask why? I ask why not?"
"Say it, but don't speak."
"In this life of super highways,take a minute to put on the break; you just may catch that shooting star."
"So quick to judge, no patients to understand."
"A man should always love you for who you are, not who they think you can become."
"Don't count the minutes and days left with the one you love, but count the joyous memories, and moments shared together."
"If you don't have the courage to say what you feel now, when will you?"
"Sometimes we need to take a step back on our journey in order to take a bigger step to the future"
