Sometimes writing that looks awful small on a page just looks cool and
calligraphic on the wall.
Suggestions: stencils; printing fonts you like on the computer and then
tracing onto the wall with graphite paper to guide your painting; using a
projector with the quote in the font you like to trace it out; getting the
quote made up in vinyl letters at a sign shop and then sticking it up (it
will come formatted)

Listen to the MUSN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me -
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
