Be Bright

I write down cool quotes in a small notebook. Be it from a film, television show, book, celebrity, friend, or myself, I write it down. The subjects range, but my love of the words remain everlasting. I'm always on the hunt for well-crafted words, phrases, sentences.

This quote is from the character Red in the Shawshank Redemption, an excellent movie. My Netflix queue is always very long and I decided to finally watch it. I was pleasantly surprised. I kept my notebook nearby for access in case I was inspired, which I was. 

"Some birds are not meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright." To me, this means parrots should never be pets because they have bright feathers. Never cage a bird! Okay okay. That was an attempt at a "joke." This signifies the importance of being individual. Be your own person. Be bright.

In case you were wondering, the photo of the pigeon is one I took in Athens, Greece, hence the ancient ruin in the background.

Have a fantastic day.
