March 7, 2014

Good Morning!


Today is the birthday of Elizabeth Moon (1945 - ) who said:
“Sometimes I wonder how normal ‘normal’ people are, and I wonder that most in the grocery store.”

and
“I like it that order exists somewhere even if it shatters near me.”

and
“A tree is alive, and thus it is always more than you can see. Roots to leaves, yes-those you can, in part, see. But it is more-it is the lichens and moss and ferns that grow on its bark, the life too small to see that lives among its roots, a community we know of, but do not think on. It is every fly and bee and beetle that uses it for shelter or food, every bird that nests in its branches. Every one an individual, and yet every one part of the tree, and the tree part of every one.”




It is also the birthday of Robert Harris (1957 - ) who said:
“To be brave, by definition, one has first to be afraid.”

and
“Of all human activities, writing is the one for which it is easiest to find excuses not to begin – the desk’s too big, the desk’s too small, there’s too much noise, there’s too much quiet, it’s too hot, too cold, too early, too late. I had learned over the years to ignore them all, and simply to start.”

and
“People will perish, but books are immortal.”




Finally, happy birthday to Bret Easton Ellis (1964 - ) who said:
“No one ever likes the right person.”

and

“Life is like a typographical error: we're constantly writing and rewriting things over each other.”
