love all of these - but i think my most favorite is the one of michelangelo - i saw the anger in the marble and carved until i set it free - speaks to me on so many many levels -

and BTW, i have said "it's not me - it's you" - i said it to both of my [now] ex-husbands... ;)

I love all these quotes, Pat....A lot of food for thought.
