Favorite Quotes

Well many people had asked me where do I come up with the quotes that I insert at my online signature(s); it's a simple process :)

1. I pick a word, a random word symbolizing my mood.

3. I pick a random poet; my favorites are WB Yeats, RW Emerson & Shakespeare among others.

4. I search for that word among that poet's work.

5. I pick a line that sounds befitting.

6. Post away! :p

I'll find the time to post my favorite quotes :) Among them are:

A man is a bundle of relations, a knot of roots, whose flower & fruitage is the world ~ RW Emerson
Flowers are lovely, love is flower-like, Friendship is a sheltering tree ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to buy a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? ~ W Shakespeare
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams ~ RW Emerson
To unpathed waters, undreamed shores ~ W Shakespeare
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we tell the dancer from the dance? ~ WB Yeats
Nor dread nor hope attend a dying animal; A man awaits his end; Dreading and hoping all ~ WB Yeats

It's always a joy to understand the meaning behind apparently simple words.
