April 1, 2014

Good Morning!




Today is the birthday of Anne McCaffrey (1926 – 2011) who said:
“A good story is a good story no matter who wrote it.”

and
“Make no judgments where you have no compassion.”





It is also the birthday of Milan Kundera (1929 - ) who said:
“You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.”

and
“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.”

and
“Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.”





Today is the birthday of Samuel R. Delany (1942 - ) who said:
“The only important elements in any society are the artistic and the criminal, because they alone, by questioning the society’s values, can force it to change.”

and
“Good writing is clear. Talented writing is energetic. Good writing avoids errors. Talented writing makes things happen in the reader's mind---vividly, forcefully...”




It is also the birthday of Jimmy Cliff (1948 - ) who said:
“And I keep on fighting for the things I want. Though I know that when you're dead you can't. But I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave.”




And of Gil Scott-Heron (1949 – 2011) who said:

“The revolution will not be televised.”
