Memorable Quotes from Creative Minds for Summer 2017

 

By THIRSTY

 

Sometimes, something once said can change a life. We all seem to have a favorite quote from that lighthearted 20th century philosopher Yogi Berra or a deeper one from writers like Henry David Thoreau or political figures like Winston Churchill. The following quotes are from the Summer 2017 edition of Stay Thirsty Magazine. Thoughtful words from accomplished people that might just strike a chord.

 MARK YOST: And what ensues is a great human drama, of a man – a desperate man – trying to redeem himself and find what little dignity he has left in life. [The Verdict starring Paul Newman]
