I was never a big quote person until I discovered the wonderful world of Pinterest. When I saw Helene and Taylor's prompt for today I knew I wanted to linkup because I have a full Pinterest board, Sarah Written All over It, of quotes I love. Now, most of them are certainly not profound, nor are they by a famous philosopher... well that is unless John Locke also said, "Don't Stop... Get It Get It."
As much as I love love, serious and lovey-dovey quotes with flowery words and complex metaphors are not my favorite. Even though the classics are said to be beautiful, I have a hard time understanding what some of those old school poets even meant.
Take for example the quote read in Sex and the City, "Love Letters From Great Men":
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all
Yup, you lost me, sorry bro. This would not get a repin from me. Had you simply said any one of these below, you totally would have gotten a big ole repin from Sarah Webb. (Oh yeah, and the first one is from your's truly. See, who needs Beethoven?!)
Simple. Honest. Heartfelt. Can't stop it from spilling out of your mouth when you're around that person. That makes for a good ole love quote in my book!
I think the best quotes are the quotes that you made. The ones that you thought up. Next time you say something hilarious, or loving, or sweet, or inspiring... stick it on a piece of paper or type it up in photoshop and pin that bad boy. My favorite quotes are the quotes that I can understand and relate to... because, 2014... not 1614.
Here are some of the quotes, straight out of my mouth, that I felt the need to share on this blog over the past year and a half! Each one is linked to the post it derived from!
Ok so that last one isn't a Sarah original, but it is one of my favorites, and from one of my favorite posts so I thought, hey... live dangerously, post it anyway!
What are some of your favorite quotes?? Do you prefer the classics, or are you like me and prefer the ones that sound like they could have easily come straight from your mouth?
