Good Morning!
Today is the birthday of Marcel Pagnol (1895 – 1974) who said:
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they
always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the
future less resolved than it will be.”
It is also the birthday of Linus Pauling (1901 – 1994) who said:
“Science cannot be stopped. Man will gather knowledge no
matter what the consequences – and we cannot predict what they will be. Science
will go on — whether we are pessimistic, or are optimistic, as I am. I know
that great, interesting, and valuable discoveries can be made and will be made…
But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I
have not the imagination to describe — and I am awaiting them, full of
curiosity and enthusiasm.”
and
“The only sane policy for the world is that of abolishing
war.”
Happy Birthday to Frank Gehry (1929 - ) who said:
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn
for timelessness.”
Birthday wishes to photographer Storm Thorgerson (1944 – 2013) who said:
"I like photography because it is a reality medium,
unlike drawing which is unreal. I like to mess with reality ... to bend
reality. Some of my works beg the question of is it real or not?"
It is the birthday of Paul Krugman (1953 - ) who said:
“Politics determine who has the power, not who has the truth.”
Finally, it is also the birthday of Daniel Handler aka Lemony Snicket (1970 - ) who said:
“Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the
crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would all
stay in our mothers’ wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a
great number of very fat, very irritated women.”
and
“Stop saying no offense,” I said, “when you say offensive
things. It’s not a free pass.”
and
“A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of
ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area
has been flooded.”
and
“I’d ruin any day, all my days, for those long nights with
you, and I did.”
