Today is the birthday of the following people:
P.G. Wodehouse (1881 - 1975):
“There is no surer
foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.”
Italo Calvino (1923 - 1985):
“A classic is a book
that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
and
“Who are we, who is
each one of us, if not a combinatoria of experiences, information, books we
have read, things imagined?”
Michel Foucault (1926 - 1984):
“I don't write a book
so that it will be the final word; I write a book so that other books are
possible, not necessarily written by me.”
and
“I'm no prophet. My
job is making windows where there were once walls.”
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900):
“The earth has a
skin, and this skin has diseases. One of these diseases, for example, is called
“man.”
