I get the feeling a lot of Lovelyish readers are also simply… readers. We love the words of cool dead people (and alive people), and would rather read a book most days than hit happy hour with the coworkers (no offense, coworkers!). Whether you’re a lit fan or a poetry junkie, chances are Etsy artist ObviousState has a print for you. Beautiful print adaptations of equally beautiful words? Sign me up!
Many of these are commentary on life, and others are commentary on the process of writing itself. These are a handful of folks that have made literary history, and whose words hang in our minds sometimes forever. Oh, and did I mention, they’re all around $25? I think this artist has a great eye for a quote, and — lucky us — a virtually infinite source of content. Take a look at more of these delightful artistic adaptations in the gallery. Oh, and there are more than 10, so check out his site!
Would you hang any of these on your wall? What’s your favorite quote from an author or poet?

Ahh Nabokov and Dick. Great quotes.

These are beautiful. I like how they are primarily done in black and white, but still express some type of emotion behind them. (Instead of being dependent on the usage of color for emotion.)
J.D. Salinger and Edgar Allen Poe posters are my favorite here.

O.O I must check this out further… Such a cool idea… It’ll be better if they have something that’s right up my alley too.
