Wonderful idea! This is one of my favorites:
"What you dream of becoming, you already are."
I don't know who wrote it, and for me, it takes the anxiety of failure away from pursuing your dreams.

I love this quote illustrated by Jamie Shelman http://shopjamie.bigcartel.com/product/keats
"The point of diving into a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water"
It helps me when I feel a creative block, for example when I start to draw something and worry about the outcome. So I find myself thinking about it quite often :)

How lovely! I love quote projects--there are so many really splendid ones, and it's always fun to see other people's spins on them. Can't wait to see more!

Hi there,
Just saw this on BYW group. What a fun idea. This one was on a pitcher owned by my grandmother. Probably from the early 1900's and from the UK.
