Quote of the Week (Inaugural Week 05/20-05/29 2016)

We're going to try something new in The Nib. This is a chance to get either your creative juices flowing or your precision script-work in tune. Each week I will post a quote. The object is to either post a picture of the quote written by you in your best or favorite script, post something that your wrote that was inspired by the quote, or post any type of artwork or poetry inspired by the quote. For the first week we'll start with something short and simple:

"STRANGER! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me, why
should you not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?"
-Walt Whitman




Please, feel free to give feedback in any way shape or form!

Sadly, this does not include me.

Several of my favorite quotes. The first one was created by me, the second one is from a line in Bluegrass song, and lastly a quote from John Muir.

My script is far from pretty but I really like the pizazz a stub brings to the table.

Any last takers?
