HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY WdC Welcome to Words, Wonderful Words. It is great to see you here! The purpose of this activity forum is to share our favorite famous quotes, phrases, and lines of poetry. I often see words arranged in unique and clever ways. Creativity abounds at WdC. What words or phrases have you seen that piqued your interest? Have you written some? What are they? "...painting words..." 8/20/24 "A giant tree stump of a man emerged." 8/2/24  Autumn's Usher Come October, pumpkins decorate her yard. She chooses them from a large bin at the grocery store, usually four or five of different sizes. Carefully, deliberately, she places them on the lawn -- this one here, one back there, two over there, another right here. Then she steps back, assessing her presentation. After all, this display is her tribute to Nature’s shift to a gentler, more peaceful backdrop, the cooling-off, slowing-down phase. It’s her self-appointed responsibility to post the round, orange signals in plain sight for neighbors and drivers passing by. This is her announcement to one and all -- unbox sweaters, blankets, fall wreaths. Pull out Halloween candy bowls and baking pans and recipes from long-passed, great aunts. Set out spiced candles, the tablecloth covered with leaves of yellow, orange, and gold. Fall is here, you know! © Copyright 2024 Solace.Bring QUOTE OF THE DAY:  "If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough." ~Oprah Winfrey First a piece of trivia new to me: Her first name on her birth certificate is Orpah after the name of a woman in the Bible. It was mispronounced so much she legally changed it to Oprah. Spelled backwards, Harpo, is what she named her production company. She won a full scholarship to Tennessee State University upon winning the title of Miss Black Tennessee. She almost finished when she took a job in television and the rest is history. She went back and got her degree in 1986. She wrote and co-wrote books which are inspirational. She shares her life experiences. As of today 10/4/24 she is worth $3B. Quotes “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” ~Robert Frost "The Flying Snoll. A lizard with 400 eyes: 200 for distance and 200 for reading. According to legend if a man gazes directly at the face of the Snoll he immediately loses his right to drive in New Jersey. The Frean. The Frean is a sea monster with the body of a crab and the head of a certified public accountant.The Great Roe. A mythological beast with the head of a lion and the body of a lion, though not the same lion… The appearance of a Roe is generally considered unlucky and usually precedes a famine or news of a cocktail party. The Weal. A large white mouse with the lyrics to "Am I Blue?" printed on its stomach. The Weal is unique amongst rodents in that it can be picked up and played like an accordion." ~Woody Allen "Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!" ~Charles Dickens "The best way to predict your future is to create it.” ~Abraham Lincoln “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ~Albert Einstein “You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page." ~J.K. Rowling: “The only whole heart is a broken one because it lets the light in.” ~David Wolfe “There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go.” ~Tennessee Williams "Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a heart touch that never hurts." ~Charles Dickens "There is no friend as loyal as a book " ~Ernest Hemmingway WRITING AND ARTS QUOTES: From the song by Bette Midler: From a distance, you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance, I just cannot comprehend What all this fighting's for Writing a novel is like driving a car at night.

Doctorow Every book is a children's book if the kid can read. ~Mitch Hedberg In the very end, civilizations perish because they listen to their politicians and not to their poets. ~Jonas Mekas Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school. ~Beverly Cleary Don't think about making art, just get it done.
