Written for the 30-day creative writing challenge hosted by Nicky and Mike of We Work For Cheese. This is day 29, and the next to the last day of this incredible writing challenge and those who are still standing will be weighing in with today's prompt is breaking the rules. Check out the Linky at WWFC to see who's breaking the rules.
I've never been much of a rule breaker - too afraid of getting in trouble I guess. I did break the rules once in kindergarten but I've already confessed that in "Black Eyes and Tutus". I learned early on what can happen when you break the rules.
Rules are made, rules are broken, and somehow life goes on and more rules are made.
I leave you now with a few quotes on what other people think about rules.
Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.
- Richard Branson
Principles and rules are intended to provide a thinking man with a frame of reference.
- Karl Von Clausewitz
No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.
- William Howard Taft
I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules?
- Emeril Lagasse
There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.
- Helen Frankenthaler
