Welcome to my Quote Challenge Week 3 results! If you missed my post in April, this is what I decided to do for National Photography Month –
Here’s my challenge, and I’ll need your help, dear readers – please leave me one of your favorite quotes in the comment section below, and I’ll pair it with a picture I’ve taken. If you’re a blogger, be sure to leave a link as well, so I can give you a shout out. If you can’t think of anything this week, no worries – I’ll post results and ask for more quotes each Monday in May.
Thank you to everyone who has provided amazing words to pair with my pictures – I love doing this! I’m also pinning all the graphics on one of my Pinterest boards – please feel free to share them! Be sure to leave your own favorite quote in the comment section, and tune in again next week to see what I came up with.
Now, on to the graphics!

Read the inaugural post which explains
the idea and how you can participate too.”
~ Melissa S. Ford, Stirrup Queens
Aww Traci, this is beautiful! Love them all
Thanks so much, Em! I’d never heard that HCA quote before – thanks so much in return for sharing it with me!
I didn’t know the fierce quote was from Shakespeare!!
#TheMoreYouKnow *grin*
About the only reason I knew is because I was in the play about a thousand years ago (aka high school). 😀
Haha!
Me, too!
Awesomeness, Emily! 🙂
I really love these posts (and thanks for the mention)!
You’re very welcome, Ruth – thanks in return for participating, and giving me an excuse to search out old C&H comics online (research, so I could attempt to capture their vibe – LOL!). 😀
The Calvin & Hobbes one is fabulous!
Thanks, Lori! Even with all the options on Canva (the online graphic thingy I’m using to create these), It took me forever to be happy with the background – I ended up using oversized black arrows (with the pointy part over the margin) randomly spaced on an orange background to get the Hobbes effect! *grin*
These are gorgeous as always, I love Emmeline Fletcher’s one!
Thank you, Noelle! As soon as I read it yesterday, I knew exactly what picture I wanted to use! 🙂
Beautiful.
I don’t know that this is still open but, my favorite quote is
“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” — Don Miguel de Cervantes
Thanks, JW! Yep, I’m doing this for the entire month of May, so I’ll have this put together for you next week! This is a gorgeous quote – I can’t wait to get started on it!
Love that Shakespeare quote – little but fierce 🙂
Such a beautiful post, Traci and the pictures go so well with the quote.
I’ve always loved that one myself. 😀 Thanks so much, Parul!
The quotes and your graphics are fabulous!
Thank you!
I love this one: And though she be but little, she is fierce. I’ll think of birds whenever I hear that quote.
Thanks, Mel!
These are fantastic Traci. I love this challenge xx
Thanks so much, Hayley! Your quote from earlier makes me smile every time I see it! 😀
Haha. That’s excellent x
Awesome quotes and photos! Thanks Traci!
Thanks Ritu – love your quote contribution, and many thanks again for sending it my way! <3
Mwah!
I love these, and the whole idea of the challenge! One of my faves at the moment, due to my focus on self care is “When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you are not saying ‘no’ to yourself.” (Paul Coelho)
Thank you, Linda! That’s a great quote – love Paulo Coelho, so I’m really going to enjoy creating this one!
Ooh, yay!! Can’t wait!!! (: x
These are great, I must have missed the post about this challenge. Great idea 🙂
I love the little bird with Debbie’s quote 🙂
Thanks, Juls! I’m doing this for the rest of the month, so if a quote comes to mind, be sure to wander back and shout out. 😀
Great post and thanks for the mention Traci!! I love the graphic to my suggested Shakespeare quote.
You’re very welcome, and thanks in return, Debbie! That sassy little hummingbird is the first thing that came to mind when I saw your quote – so glad you love it! 😀
Did you know I’m called a ‘hummingbird on speed’?? So the pic was extra appropriate
Wow, Debbie – that’s wicked awesome! 😀
quote for you not sure who it is from. “inspiration comes and goes, creativity is the result of practice.”
Coolness, Amelia! I’ll do a quick Google for the author, then poke around in my picture file for a good fit – thanks so much!
Your photos show the beauty and the light in life. And since I’m on a mission to focus far more on what is good about the world and myself, this quote (taken from the notebook that I tweet about) comes to mind: “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.” ~Edith Wharton
Aww, thanks so much Melissa – for the compliment, and the awesome quote! <3
Great idea with even greater quotes here! I hope you don’t mind I’d like to contribute to the challenge by leaving a little note:
“You can be a good person with a kind heart and still say no.”
– Daniel Krascsenits
Thank you for sharing,

Don’t mind in the slightest, Leah – I love getting quote contributions, and yours is excellent! Thanks so much!
My license plate is actually “HERMIA” because that’s who they say the “fierce” quote about, and, though I be but little, I for damn sure am fierce. Confuses the hell out of people who think it says “HERNIA.”
LOL! I actually played Hermia in high school, and there were tons of hernia jokes. Most excellent license plate choice!
That quote of Joseph Heller was used a lot by a French journalist, Charb, he was part of the journalists that were shot in the first attacks that happened in Paris. It reminds me of the courage he had 🙂
Knowing that, the quote takes on a whole new dimension. 🙁
These are amazing. Looking forward to following
Thanks so much, Gabe!
