I guess **[MusicThoughts](http://musicthoughts.com/?ref=hypebot.com)** has been around for awhile. But somehow I missed it; and I'm a person that loves music and loves quotes. It took a [tweet](http://twitter.com/sivers?ref=hypebot.com) of a post on **[The Indie Connect Social Network](http://indieconnect.ning.com/profiles/blogs/advice-from-the-hall-of-elders?ref=hypebot.com)** to click through and discover it.

"In 1999, I made the MusicThoughts email list as a quiet non-commercial place for musicians to talk about music," wrote Sivers on his [blog](http://sivers.org/?ref=hypebot.com) "It's still active today, and you can sign up there at Yahoo. In 2000, I made the first version of musicthoughts.com – an online database of inspiring quotes. A new version in 10 languages launched in 2009."

"It isn't where you came from, it's where you're going that counts."
