My Obsession With Quotes

  "Old words are reborn with new faces.” ― Criss Jami

     I don't know either. I was never aware that I had an obsession with quotes until I made this blog. Within this blog, are a a total of 30 quotes from TV shows, Films, famous people, etc. That will answer anyone asking: "what poppycock is he talking about?". However I sincerely hope that none of you chose that particular word.

   At the very beginning of creating my blog, I often looked at the blog of my good friend Rosemary; in search of hints as to how I should display my blog. One particular thing that caught my interest (which should be fairly obvious) is her display of a few quotes within her blog. I decided then that I would do so as well, but I did not foresee what outcome this would bring. 

     I later came to the decision,  that I would not display every single quote that I find of interest (otherwise this blog would be overthrown with quotations) and even later, that I would try my very best not to limit the quotes to ones from Doctor Who. Whatever message they may bring, I agreed that some kind of emotional, inspiring or meaningful message would have to come across that would appeal to myself and most other people. As well as the exception of the odd funny quotation every once in a while. It came across to me, that whenever I searched up quotations to post on my blog that fell into those categories; they never seemed to fail at inspiring me and boosting my self-confidence. 

     This quote at the top matches this post perfectly and the topic of quotations in general. In the sense that, there are words of people decades dead  and they are still inspiring to people living in the modern day. For the words of someone long gone, to still have an inspirational affect on  people, they must either be someone of great significance in History or someone of great wisdom (not always both).  The fact that, the words of someone else can still be used after so long, almost links us to the past and shows two things: that they are not forgotten and/or how the world has been shaped by their words/actions. 

      It is because of this epiphany, that I have decided to create a separate page on my blog for all the quotes that really appeal to me. I have been looking for something to create a third page around, and I have finally found it. Quotations are not just words of the past that appeal to the people of the present, but they are a way in which people can express themselves. They can show us who we are, particular quotes don't just appeal to people for no reason, but because they relate to that person. Whether it is because they refer to something that someone has experienced (i.e bullying) or touch on something they feel strongly about (i.e war). 

      I never realized how significant quotes are, or how important they feel to myself and obviously other people as well. This is something that I was glad to come to realize and I will leave you with this. When you live your everyday lives, aspire to inspire yourself and in that, you will inspire others. If you do so successfully, your words will be remembered not for their significance but for their wisdom.
