I am a collector of quotes, I have been for as long as I can remember. I used to scribble lines from poems, books and films in all my diaries. “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars,” was a favourite in my teen years. Gooey, I know. Then came the intellectuals. The big thinkers. Sophocles. Anaïs Nin. Rumi. I’d scribble their wisdoms on scraps of paper, with nowhere near the maturity required to grasp their meaning. These days, I’m more likely to quote Ellen than Sartre. And when I see a quote I like, I’ll still scribble it down. Atticus seems to be following me, or maybe I am following Atticus. And this Hemingway wisdom is a lovely reminder. “Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.”
