Inspiration

Sometimes when I'm struggling to focus, I look to those that have been there before me.
It's strange but whenever I begin the process of developing a new website, lose my way on an existing project or get time to pursue my passion of writing I revisit a list of quotes I've collected over the last 20 years.  The list below is some I've revisited more than once.

I'll add to them over time.
