This is an image of text which reads "The thing of course, is to make yourself alive. Most people remain all of their lives in a stupor." (Sherwood Anderson). The bulk of the quote is in a black font, however the word Alive is in a rich golden yellow shade, takes up the bulk of the space and is written in a style as if someone has used watercolour and written it with paint on their finger.

The quote of the day is:
