My favorites – things I really love! I used to be guilty of always saying that’s my favorite song, my favorite movie, my favorite person, my favorite thing. It got so bad that everything was my favorite so nothing was. I have gotten much better about it, I think. Here you will find some of my favorite things: movies, books, pictures, and whatever else I want to put here. I will try to only add those things I really love but I have a tendency to love so many things and have many favorites. I will try to be really selective so that the choices have real meaning.
I have loved Henry David Thoreau‘s writing since high school. So much of what he wrote spoke to me in ways I would never experience until now. Here are some of my favorite quotes from his writing:
“Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.“
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.“
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.“
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.“
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.“
