Good Morning!
Today is the birthday of Judith Guest (1936 - ) who said:
“Depression is not sobbing
and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling.”
and
“I keep telling you that
feeling is not selective. You can't feel pain, you aren't gonna feel anything
else either.”
It is also the birthday of Eric Idle (1943 - ) who said:
“Life doesn't make any sense,
and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make
sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.”
and
“At least one way of
measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted,
and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive,
so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must
obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we
accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of
comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and
conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special
privileges which should not be granted.”
Happy Birthday to Perry Farrell (1959 - ) who said:
If you're not part of the
freaks, you're part of the boredom.”
Birthday greetings to Amy Sedaris (1961 - ) who said:
“I think it's good for a
person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they
are and to figure out why they are always alone.”
Finally, it is the birthday of Michel Hazanavicius (1967 - ) who said:
“I only have one obsession -
not to be boring.”
