Well I’m a little sad
that there is no theme this week, because that means that I have to get
creative all by myself. Sometimes I just like a little structure….. but luckily
for me when I was looking up A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz that I read about on another book blog, (sorry, I
can’t for the life of me remember who’s it was… I wish I could give credit) I
stumbled upon the author’s webpage and I loved the quote he had in one of his
blog posts, actually I love two quotes he quoted.
Albert Einstein ~ “Imagination
is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know
and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever
will be to know and understand.”
And
T.S. Elliot ~ There will be time, there will be
time,
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you
meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands,
That lift and drop a question on your plate.
These quotes were on
his blog post about how children’s imaginations are being stifled by overscheduling because their parents want them to become successful adults. I
completely agree with him and I actually posted about the same thing (although
his was more eloquent than mine)
So, yep, these are my
quotes
Happy Readings!
This is a fantastic post! I am sorry to not give a theme, but the majority was not so keen. I do hope to change their minds in the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your participation. Hope to see you next week.
Both of these quotes are very wise, the one by Albert Einstein is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteA theme might be fun for this meme!
Love the Einstein quote and your whole presentation of this post. I agree, it's so important, especially for children to play, create and have fun!
ReplyDeleteThe T.S. Elliott is so powerful. Thank you~
