A-Z: Going to the Quote Garden for Inspiration

I am sure you will be shocked, shocked! to learn that sometimes I go to the greenhouse of my mind, and while there are lots of ideas growing there, nothing is ripe and ready.

So one of the place I can go to harvest an idea or two is Quote Garden, as one of:

My 26 Favorite Ways to Piss Away Time Do Valuable Research on the Interwebs.

There are many quote sites on the web - this is not even necessarily the best one.  Of course, the butterflies caught my eye, first.  It's also been up for 14+ years, so it's super-rich with material, and I don't expect it to be here today, gone tomorrow.

But the main reason I love it is because of the way it's organized.

Who knew there were quotes about the Tooth Fairy, or  Quotations about Quotations?

Sometimes I get an idea or five simply from reading the categories, or click on something, just to see what on earth is quotable about Cows, Vegetarianism, or Firefighters.

Well, yes, there is that.

What about cows, you ask?

All the really good ideas I ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.  ~Grant Wood

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.  ~Proverb

You want the quotes on Vegetarianism, Habits, Dia de los Muertos, Football and more, you'll have to go do your own harvesting.


Quote Garden - always something there ready to be picked.  You can even Follow them on Twitter.

My A-Z theme is My 26 Favorite Ways to Piss Away Time Do Valuable Research on the Interwebs.

Truly, sometimes an idea from a "pointless" fun site or post or photograph does result in pages and pages of writing. Or at least a blog post or two.

Do you harvest a quote from Quote Garden from time to time?
