Beautiful Quotes on literacy, imagination and more ...

In browsing and searching quotes for one of the books I am editing, I thoroughly enjoyed reading and re-reading this: ”Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.” ~Mae Jemison 

From there, I continued searching quotes and poems about imagination and reading. I also decided to share several more quotes, and hopefully you, too will find inspiration, smiles, or a spark to get you through those lovely moments of writers’ block!

Enjoy!
