Thanks for these - thought provoking. I particularly like Adam Duff’s idea, Sam Chang’s, and Toni Morrison’s. There is something I find slightly uncomfortable about the very act of collecting inspirational quotes. Not sure why - because I loved reading these. Perhaps it’s something to do with the idea of being out there and living it, rather than reading about it. To add my own, perhaps connected to that thought, is one of the simplest yet most profound lines I’ve come across, and I think is attributed to John Lennon: “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans”. For me it’s a reminder that every experience is worthwhile - when you look back, it’s both the contentment and the struggle that together create the sense of a whole. Much like your quote from Robert Moor I guess.
