Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
James Joyce (1882 –
1941):
“History, Stephen
said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”
and
“Shut your eyes and
see.”
and
“A man of genius
makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
James Dickey (1923 –
1997):
“What you have to
realize when you write poetry, or if you love poetry, is that poetry is just
naturally the greatest god damn thing that ever was in the whole universe”
and
“A poet is someone
who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.”
Judith Viorst (1931 -
):
“Strength is the
capacity to break a Hershey bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and
then eat just one of the pieces.”
Thomas M. Disch (1940
– 2008):
“Sometimes the whole
world is mud luscious and puddle wonderful.”
and
“For a lot of people,
poetry tends to be dull. It's not read much. It takes a special kind of
training and a lot of practice to read poetry with pleasure. It's like learning
to like asparagus.”
