Quotes for my donation print

[Corry]

Ok...if I decide to go with this print, I need a quote to go with it (or poem) to write on the matte.

I'm having a hard time finding something that will go well with not only this picture, but the tragedy of Katrina, as well.

 

[Corry]

Ok..here's one that made me stop for a minute and think...

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by
standing in awe of death.

---David Sarnoff

 

[Corry]

It's the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope,
through faith and love, 'till we find our place, on the path unwinding.

--John, Elton

Good thoughts - I really like the first one. May I throw my 2cents worth in as well?

"The deeper the sorrow the less tongue it hath." - The Talmud
"The fire which seems extinguished often slumbers beneath the ashes." - Pierre Corneille
"He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity." - Ben Jonson

Yes, I AM a quote junkie!

wow, that's really nice...i imagine it's the same with joy/happiness as well.

"We shall in our trajedy find ourselves"

Why can't the picture speak for itself? I think it does a pretty good job on its own.

 

[Corry]

Ferny, think about the context of the picture, and the cause I am donating it too.

 

[ferny]

I was. I assumed that's why you were donating it. To remind people why it needs to be donated and let people reflect and feel connected to the situation.

Without the quote it feels like the image is directly related to the hurricane. A quote would distract form that. But.. that's just me talking.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

Martin Luther King Jr

 

[Corry]

Ok....hopefully I'll know tommorrow if I'm going with this print or not...and if I do, I'm going with this quote...whadaya think?

"The fire which seems extinguished often slumbers beneath the ashes." - Pierre Corneille

 

[Karalee]

I dont get it, are you writing the quote on the print?

 

[Corry]

No, on the matte. I explained it in the original post.

I don't quite think the print is appropriate alone, since this is being done to help hurricane victims...in my picture, the little ghost girl is sitting in a home that's a heap of rubble.

Core,

I think it'll be great. I've checked out what is currently available on auction and all of our prints should stand out. Honestly, its mostly one guy's "beefcake" (and he shouldn't be posing for those - ugh) photos right now.
