The Law of Unintended Consequences

[Austin S. Camacho]

One of the unintended consequences of the rise of the internet is that some great writing travels the world uncredited. Once in a while I see a line so beautiful that I search for the source, usually in vain. Yesterday I spotted a line that I wish I had written, and soon learned that tons of others agree with me, because it's on a lot of web sites and slides. The simple sentence:
"There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real."

What great writing have you tripped over while wandering the internet? Or has something you wrote become "public domain" because others picked it up and spread it??
