Sunday, 29 December

Two thoughts from Marjorie K. Rawlings

“Fear is the most easily taught of all lessons, and the fight against terror, real or imagined, is perhaps the history of man’s mind.”

“Madness is only a variety of mental nonconformity and we are all individualists here.”


Monday, 30 December

“The great wisdom for writers, perhaps for everybody, is to come to understand to be at one with their own tempo.”

“I like things to reverberate, to be suggestive.”


Tuesday, 31 December

Two thoughts from Brad Paisley

“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.”

“I love any and all situations where you celebrate creativity.”


Wednesday, 1 January

Two thoughts from Rainer Maria Rilke

“And now we welcome the new year—full of things that have never been.”

“A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.”


Thursday, 2 January

Two thoughts from John O’Donohue

“One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen.”

“Take time to see the quiet miracles that

seek no attention.”

Two thoughts from Daniel Burnham

"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood."

“A noble, logical diagram, once recorded, will never die.”
