Day Five: Your Favorite Quote

While there are a lot of quotes that I really really love, I decided to share a few lines from one of my favorite poems today.


I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous,
or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular,
but because it never forgot what it could do.
—Naomi Shihab Nye, “Famous”

This poem is one of my favorites and these three lines are especially dear to me.  I am planning on getting a tattoo in the next few months and I want a small picture of a pulley as a reminder of these words.
