The Three Day Quote Challenge:
My thanks go to the wonderful Sally Cronin, blogger and writer extraordinaire, who tagged me in this challenging (for me anyway!) challenge:
Sally’s blog is https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com
And for more information on her books listed here at Amazon please visit
https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/my-books/
Okay, the deal is, you share your favourite quote (even if written by you) and also inspire people.
The Rules:
As always these challenges come with a few provisos and here they are.
Thank the person who nominated you. Share your favourite quotes (even if written by you) that inspire you and could inspire other people Pass it on by tagging some poor unsuspecting person that you admire (bearing in mind you’ll want them to be your friend afterwards. Hah!) Do we have to post three quotes, or one quote every day for three days? Not sure but mine are all here today…
My Quotes:
“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.”
— John Steinbeck
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.’
— Toni Morrison
And finally: – a list of quotes – just to prove I know who I am, where I belong – and that I’m always right.
Now I’m tagging the following three lovely ladies – only if they fancy doing this – no pressure – really!!:

I tell people often: “I’ll cross that bridge when it burns behind me.”
When someone asks if I’m crazy during an argument, I’ll say, “If, as you say, I’m crazy, it doesn’t make me wrong.”
And then there are the people who insist they knew exactly where the line is between sanity and insanity: “If you were born on Earth and you’re over 5, you’re insane.”
That’s an interesting challenge. So many challenges, so little time. 🙂

Glad you enjoyed them – if I need to remember things I’ve got to the stage of having to write it down.
