Good Morning!
Today is the birthday of David Lean (1908 – 1991) who said:
“I'm first and foremost
interested in the story, the characters.”
It is also the birthday of Norman Borlaug (1914 – 2009) who said:
“You can't build a peaceful
world on empty stomachs and human misery."
and
"Reach for the stars.
Although you will never touch them, if you reach hard enough, you will find
that you get a little star dust on you in the process."
Happy Birthday to Flannery O’Connor (1925 –
1964) who said:
“The truth does not change
according to our ability to stomach it.”
and
“Everywhere I go I'm asked if
I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle
enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a
good teacher.”
and
“Art never responds to the
wish to make it democratic; it is not for everybody; it is only for those who
are willing to undergo the effort needed to understand it.”
and
“You shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you odd.”
Birthday wishes to Jim Lovell (1928 - ) who said:
“From now on, we live in a
world where man has walked on the moon. It wasn't a miracle, we just decided to
go.”
And also to Elton John (1947 - ) who said:
“Live for each second without
hesitation”
Today is the birthday of Kate DiCamillo (1964 - ) who wrote and said:
“There is nothing sweeter in
this sad world than the sound of someone you love calling your name.”
and
“My favorite six letter word
is
always
because it promises
so much.
My favorite five letter word
is
never
because it insists on
contradicting
the promise.
My favorite four letter word
is
once
because it says it
happened then.
My favorite three letter word
is
yes
because I’m just now learning
to say it
to my heart.
My favorite two letter word
is
if
because it makes
all things possible
like this:
If not always
If not never
Then once.
Yes.”
Birthday shout out to Ryan Lewis (1988 - ) who said:
“There's an open door now
more than ever to be making any type of beats that you want.”
