August 5, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:


Guy de Maupassant (1850 – 1893):
“There is only one good thing in life, and that is love.”

and
“Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist.”

and
“It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.”



Wendell Berry (1934 - ):
“Don't own so much clutter that you will be relieved to see your house catch fire.”

and
“Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.”




Adam Yauch (1964 – 2012):
“I want to say a little something that's long overdue, the disrespect to women has got to be through. To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends, I wanna offer my love and respect till the end.”

and

"Dear New York I hope you're doing well / I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell / So, we give thanks for providing a home / Through your gates at Ellis Island we passed in droves"
