Well, as far as I know there isn't any rule against it. I think some people just find it hard to find a quote because of its commonality but really, it isn't hard at all. Actually I believe it's the opposite. Because the word may be so common you're able to find tons of quotes worthy of posting. I used to find it difficult too but found a way to do it and if I can find a way around it anyone can! :winky:


(Thanks for the heads-up, luv. :))


"Love takes up where knowledge leaves off."

“What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard.”

C.S. Lewis

Innocence always calls mutely for protection when we would be so much wiser to guard ourselves against it: innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
