Good Morning!
Today is the birthday of Nathan Fillion (1971 - ) who said:
“Whatever our bedtime was as
kids, we could stay up an extra half hour if we were reading. My parents didn't
care as long as I was under the spell of a Stephen King or a Douglas Adams. Now
I read in bed. I read at work. I read standing in line. It's like, 'Hello, my
name is Nathan and I am a reader.'”
and
“I like to say there's
certain things you can't take back: One of them is 'I love you,' and one of
them is bullets.”
It is also the birthday of Quentin Tarantino (1963 - ) who said:
“Superman didn't become
Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning,
he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red
"S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents
found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business
suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with
us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of
Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is
Superman's critique on the whole human race.”
and
“You don't have to know how
to make a movie. If you truly love cinema with all your heart and with enough
passion, you can't help but make a good movie.”
Happy Birthday to Julia Alvarez (1950 - ) who said:
"I write to find out
what I'm thinking. I write to find out who I am. I write to understand
things."
Great birthday wishes to poet Frank O’Hara (1926 – 1966) who said:
“I am the least difficult of
men. All I want is boundless love.”
and
“It is easy to be beautiful;
it is difficult to appear so.
I admire you, beloved, for
the trap you've set. It's like a final chapter no one reads because the plot is
over.”
Finally, it is the birthday of Budd Schulberg (1914 – 2009) who said:
“I’d like to be remembered as
someone who used their ability as a novelist or as a dramatist to say the
things he felt needed to be said about the society while being as entertaining
as possible. Because if you don’t entertain, nobody’s listening.”
and
“Isn't everyone a part of
everyone else?”
