Have a Favorite Quote?

I've done a bunch of favorite things on my blog, even a blog post about favorite things! Anyway, what are your favorite quotes? I have SO many to choose from, but my junior year we had to pick a favorite one for our creative writing class. It was supposed to do with writing but that rule was a bit relaxed. We picked a favorite photo (that didn't include ourselves) of something like a serene sunset or clean white snow or something cute and funny. It was supposed to be inspiring for writing. The picture of the two girls was my portfolio cover. It was such a fun thing to pull out of my backpack when I needed some inspiration or just a silly giggle. My favorite quote (sort of. It was the one I used on my portfolio cover along with the photo.) happens to be from one of my favorite books, The Alchemist: "We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand." It was a good quote that summarized a nice idea as well as being about writing.

I have quite the list of other favorite quotes. I usually add them in a "Note" on my phone to remember them or their page numbers in the book I'm reading. Here are the ones that have made my list (there are a lot) and what they're from is listed too!
