  10. Yep it is more specific towards inspiring quotes not just random quotes. I always like reading inspiring quotes because they inspire me and to see what inspires other people.

  11. Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. - Edgar Allan Poe

    The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense. - Tom Clancy

    That last one has more truth than you may expect. In reality, lots of things that don't make sense happen. My favorite example is how Persian leader, Cambyses, defeated Egypt with cats. When writing, you still need follow the laws of reality, things have to seem realistic. If I wrote about a man taking defeating a country with pictures of cats would that seem relaistic? No.

    Bonus one, can you guess who said this?

    All dimensions, all realities, are open to me. - Prince ----------
