Owning it - "The Magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding"...

I like looking up quotes. It is nice to see who wrote what and where it came from. As well as being little wordy gems, that represent "things I really wish I had said", quotes give us an anchor to a thought, or a state of mind - perhaps even a way to live life. Mostly, they are either clever or beautiful or deeply deep. And I think deeply deep down, we all crave a life that is quotable...
Good quotes - the ones that resonate the deepest - engage us the mostest, because the psychology within them connects directly with how our grey matter processes good information and worthy feelings.
Our brains produce alarming levels of dopamine when we read powerful words and phrases that strike a big chord. Our attention is suddenly very focused and - after reading the best of best quotes, we seem to develop a kind of steadfast motivation. All at once, we want to remember them, live by them and 're-quote' them entirely at will.
