"the writer needs to sweat and carve them out of the unshaped stone of language"
I love this image. I also found this post resonating with me quite a bit. I used to work at a school that was absolutely plastered with inspirational posters, and then we were given mandated ones. We were also told to put an inspirational quote in huge letters over the whiteboard in the classroom. I chose a Douglas Adams quote involving small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. I have my own issues with authority.
I also have a similar take on social media - that it is for more direct interaction and I feel disappointed when all I see of a person's life is a lot of soppy memes.
There are statements that I find very interesting or inspirational, but posting those may display more of what my world is or perhaps spark a discussion, and I usually want long and complex statements from writers and thinkers who spark or challenge me.
