Quotacious Quotes

There is will in thought, there is none in dreams….Each of us dreams the unknown and the impossible according to his own nature." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables.
"A little magic can take you a long way." -Roald Dahl
"Be in love with your life, every minute of it." -Jack Kerouac.

Along with Jacqueline Wilson, JK Rowling & Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl was & still is one of my all time favourite writers for children. His stories are so imaginative, so enchanting & entertaining to read. Today I bring you some of my favourite words from Roald Dahl. I hope they make you smile & brighten up what looks set to be another dreary week (weather-wise) ahead.

Quotacious Quotes
I admire anyone who takes the time to make images combining illustration/photography & quotes, or typography & quotes. They really are an effective way of communicating wisdom. With that in mind, today's edition of Quotacious Quotes consists entirely of pictures people have made & prints that I've found.
Enjoy!

I have this picture in places where I'll see it often, like my diary & inside a book I'm reading at the moment.
-It is so easy to get carried away when someone says or does something negative towards you. There is always going to be someone who won't like what you do. They will be willing to criticise your every fault. Know that you are so much better than whoever, or whatever it is that is trying to get you down. Nothing can destroy you. SHINE ON!! xo

Quotacious Quotations.
-I have this Dear Colleen print on my wall and it is one of my favourite quotes. Right now it's reminding me of someone I used to know, and their reluctancy to move forward.
"There are a lot of bullies, narcissists and jealous people in this world. The best thing you can do is be yourself, stand up for yourself and demand a high standard. Nothing can ever go wrong if you do this."
-Someone wise said this last year. I wrote it down and will never forget it.
"Not all those who wander are lost."
-J.R.R. Tolkien.
"Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
-From this article.

A little something
The following is the foreword from British Photographer, Tim Walker's book. One of my greatest loves is storytelling and in particular I have always enjoyed learning other people's stories.
So sit back, relax and enjoy what Tim Walker has to say about Fashion and Photography...

All you need is...love?
Well, that's debatable I must say. While I don't endorse the commercial side of Valentines Day (people shouldn't need one specific day to tell others that they're loved), some of our favourite fictional characters and songwriters sure know how to speak on the topic!
So without further ado, here are a few of my favourite quotes. Apologies in advance for potential cheesiness.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -Moulin Rouge
"Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel, as every fairytale comes real. I've looked at love that way." -Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell
"It's impossible to grasp just how powerful love is. It can sustain us through trying times or motivate us to make extraordinary sacrifices...long after we're gone, love remains burned into our memories."-Mary Alice Young, Desperate Housewives
"People change. Feelings change. It doesn't mean that the love once shared wasn't true and real." -500 Days of Summer
"It slips into your thoughts. It infiltrates your soul. It takes you by surprise, and seizes full control. Try to deny it or try to protest. But love won't let you go, once you've been possessed." -Christine, Love Never Dies

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

This gem comes from Roald Dahl, one of the greatest children's authors of all time, in my opinion.
