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

Georges Simenon (1903 – 1989):

“Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness. I don't think an artist can ever be happy.”

and

“We are all potentially characters in a novel--with the difference that characters in a novel really get to live their lives to the full.”

Henry Rollins (1961 - ):

“It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't come back. You're left so alone that you can't explain. Damn, there's nothing like that, is there? I've been there and you have too. You're nodding your head.”

Matt Berninger (1971 - ):

“I still owe money to the money to the money I owe

I never thought about love when I thought about home.”

and

"Turn the light out say goodnight, no thinking for a little while

Let's not try to figure out everything at once

It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky

We're half awake in a fake empire"

and

“All the very best of us string ourselves up for love.”

Feist (1976 - ):

“I need therapy after writing. It's like leaking blood from a stone. It's brutally difficult but worth it.”

and

“There's real potency in metal. Metal fans love metal as if it's a nation they would fight for. It's not diluted by pop culture.”
