Today's Words of Wisdom - September 4, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:


Richard Wright (1908 – 1960):
“Whenever my environment had failed to support or nourish me, I had clutched at books...”

and
“Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread.”

and
“All literature is protest.”




Antonin Artaud (1896 – 1948):
“There is in every madman
a misunderstood genius
whose idea
shining in his head
frightened people
and for whom delirium was the only solution
to the strangulation
that life had prepared for him.”

and
“I abandon myself to the fever of dreams, in search for new laws.”




Mary Renault (1905 – 1983):
“True friends share everything, except the past before they met.”

and
“The rightness of a thing isn't determined by the amount of courage it takes.”

and
“One must live as if it would be forever, and as if one might die each moment. Always both at once.”




Joan Aiken (1924 – 2004):
“Why do we want to have alternate worlds? It's a way of making progress. You have to imagine something before you do it.”

and

“Words are like spices. Too many is worse than too few.”
