Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...



Dorothy Parker (1893 – 1967):
“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.”

and
“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

and
“This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”

and
“I hate writing, I love having written.”




Ray Bradbury (1920 – 2012):
“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”

and
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”

and
“You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”




Annie Proulx (1935 - ):
“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”

and
“If you can't fix it, you have to stand it.”




Carl Yastrzemski (1939 - ):

"Ed (Runge), you're the second best umpire in the league. The other twenty-three are tied for first."
