Today is the birthday of the following people:
Albert Camus (1913 –
1960):
“Don't walk behind
me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside
me and be my friend.”
and
“You will never be
happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never
live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
and
“Live to the point of
tears.”
and
“Blessed are the
hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.”
and
“I sometimes think of
what future historians will say of us. A single sentence will suffice for
modern man: he fornicated and read the papers.”
Joni Mitchell (1943 -
):
“Don't it always seem
to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.”
Marie Curie (1867 –
1934):
"Be less curious about
people and more curious about ideas."
and
"Life is not easy for
any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence
in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this
thing, at whatever cost, must be attained."
and
"I was taught that the
way of progress was neither swift nor easy."
Lorde (1996 - ):
“But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands,
tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we
aren't caught up in your love affair.”
Lawrence O’Donnell (1951
- ):
“We are not the
rugged individualists we think we are. After getting an education paid for by
the government, if we live long enough, we all get retirement income from the
government and health care paid for by the government. That is a very healthy
dose of good old-fashioned socialism, but we remain the country that pretends
to hate socialism.”
