The ABC's of Life...O is for Open-Minded


"The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind." ~EB White

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open." ~Frank Zappa

"Books open your mind, broaden your mind, and strengthen you as nothing else can." ~ William Feather

"An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for the little artistic Ephiphany." ~Nick Cave


Keep your mind open to the views of others...be curious...ask questions...listen....throw away your preconceived notions and unlock the door to new ideas & new thoughts. It is possible...you can do it.

  1. What a gorgous photo - I love the bleached colours. Once again, some amazingly inspiring quotes, particularly like the one by Nick Cave.
    Lots to think about - thank you.
    Hugs xx

  4. Oh, so true, so true. It seems that as people get older, they tend to either become less open or more so. I know which way I want to go! Beautiful!!
