Not only is Don’t Stop Living the title of my website, it’s also my philosophy in life, it’s also a poem and song Read more about Sunday’s Inspiration: Don’t Stop Living[…]

Sunday’s Inspiration: “Damn My Education, I can’t find the words to say”

This dose of Sunday’s Inspiration is one for the Mums and Dads, possibly. I’ve been longing for chances to preach to people about how education is not the be all and end all of your lives.

I’m not sure if it’s cool or not to keep using quotes from others as part of my Sunday’s Inspiration series, but this Paul Weller lyric (from the song “Brand New Start”) is one of my favourite quotes.

Sunday’s Inspiration: Always Want It

Today on Sunday’s Inspiration it’s time for a quote from Liam Gallagher of Oasis.
