My favorite, when we try so hard to protect our hearts they become brittle and easily broken.

Happy Sunday!
Very though-provoking. Love Aristotle's, oh the power of the mind.
Perfect Sunday painting! Makes me want to go curl up on the grass to take my nap!
Loved the quote about reading too!
I like the last one best - walk beside me and be my friend. Great quote for today!
Beautiful quotes today. My fave is the last one and I couldn't agree more.
I love the last one!!!!!
I love that last one!
I LOVE the Camus quote. When I was in graduate school I was a reader for a great book, "Camus and Sartre: A Relationship and the Quarrel That Ended It," by Ronald Aronson, a foremost Sartrean scholar. I painstakingly read through every page of his manuscript that was initially quite dense. But towards the end of our time together in cafes and via countless emails, a beautiful dialogue was achieved, a wonderful story evolved. After all, Sartre and Camus both wrote fiction. I had always adored Camus, and respected Sartre. But after that book I adored Camus even more. Thanks, Kelly, for this reminder of a beautiful summer of reading.
love the last quote!
Love them all especially the Deepak Chopra one!
The Camus is my fav. Love the print, also!
Those are some great quotes. And after reading them, I think I need to go find a good book. I could use some stress relief, and it's SO true....
Wow! Wonderful, thoughtful quotes! I especially like the phrase "half-awake" - so true!
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
one of my FAVS!
love it!
I love the reading one!!!
And really...Albert Camus said that!!??? It just doesn't sound like him!! I was surprised!
I really like the Camus quote. :)
