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

Laura Veirs (1973 - ):

"Caldera's edge

We'll hold hands and wait

Mudflows are greyhounds

Exploding from gates

With hot ash and hot rocks

They'll crash and they'll mosh

Till the trees are all flat

And we all collapse from the chase."

Jeff Mangum (1970 - ):

“And one day we will die and our ashes will fly

from the aeroplane over the sea,

but for now we are young, let us lay in the sun,

and count every beautiful thing we can see...

Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.” 

Peter Smagorinsky (1952 - ):

“School music programs can give kids a reason to persist in school and develop feelings of affiliation with the institution that might not otherwise be available. There’s quite a payoff in constructing that avenue of positive activity; and even if it doesn’t contribute to the STEM demand, it gives us many reasons to count on a better future.”

Norman Rush (1933 - ):

“The main effort of arranging your life should be to progressively reduce the amount of time required to decently maintain yourself so that you can have all the time you want for reading.”

Adrian Mitchell (1932 – 2008):

“Most people ignore most poetry because poetry ignores most people.”

Bob Kane (1915 – 1998):

“I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond”

Moss Hart (1904 – 1961):

“I have had many successes and many failures in my life. My successes have always been for different reasons, but my failures have always been for the same reason: I said yes when I meant no.”
