Little Writers, Great Writers

It’s the final day of ‘Quotes on Quotes’ week at the NDD.  Any suggestions for next week’s topic?

Little Writers, Great Writers

All artists and writers copy.  Copying is unavoidable.  But all good and great artists and writers transform that which they copy into their own words, their own vision. The mediocre and creativity deficient are not able, or are lazy and thus unwilling, to do the hard work of creating their own work even while taking ideas from the past.

Drawing and commentary by Marty Coleman, who seems to use a lot of quotes in his work.

Quote by Havelock Ellis, 1859-1939, British physician and writer.

Nothing Is Sillier Than Silly Laughter

“Nothing is sillier than silly laughter” – Catullus

There is nothing better for the soul than this type of silly laughter!

It is cathartic and transformative, both for one’s feelings and one’s body. I wish I had more silly laughter actually. Watching the VP debate last night with my family (daughter and Son in law were over) allowed for some good laughs though!
