This week my chosen quote is influenced by poetry.
Attributed to Robert Frost (1960)

I thought it was time for a musical quote this week.
This weeks quote is by William Congreve who was an English playwright and poet of the Restoration period. He was also a minor figure in the British Whig Party.

Happy Wednesday!
Firstly, I want to say a big hello and thank you to all my new followers, I hope you will enjoy my blog.
My chosen quote is attributed to Laozi who was a philosopher in ancient China. The quote is from the Tao Te Ching which is regarded by some as a text made up from many individuals input and by others as soley written by Laozi. Laozi is regarded as one of the founders of Tao. Taoist thought emphasises nonaction, contentedness and simplicity in life. The quote reflects this.
Laozi
c. 550 BCE
The photo is from a walk yesterday and the reason I chose it was because at the time I was content and feeling very relaxed.

As yesterday was Shakespeare’s birthday, I have gone for a quote from Shakepeare’s play Macbeth.
Macbeth is probably the play I have seen the most on stage and on TV and it always amazes me how each production is portrayed differently.
William Shakespeare (c. 1606)

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
My reading so far has not gone according to plan for the Easter Holidays but I am hoping to get back on track today. I have been distracted by adventures, walks in the countryside and music.
Anyway, quote time!
Bill Watterson
1988
Bill Watterson was the creator of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes which told the adventures of Calvin, a six-year-old boy and his tiger Hobbes who to Calvin is real but to everyone else is a stuffed toy.
I like this quote because we are always complaining that we do not have enough time to do everything that we need to do. But sometimes we should make enough time to just do nothing and relax, or do something frivolous. So that is my little bit of pondering for today.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I went for a long walk on monday and it inspired me to find a nature quote because everything I saw was greener and coming into bloom. It was wonderful to see after a gloomy winter.

This weeks quote stays with the theme of cats, because cats is a brilliant theme.
Michel de Montaigne
Montaigne was a French philisopher in the 1500’s who through grief came up with philosophical essays on life, death and what it is to be human.
Lyra fully agrees with this weeks theme of cats!
