April 20, 2014

Good Morning!



Today is the birthday of Pietro Aretino (1492 – 1556) who said:
“I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.”




It is also the birthday of Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) who said:
“You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.”




Happy Birthday to George Takei (1937 - ) who said:
“It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.”




Today is the birthday of Peter S. Beagle (1939 - ) who said:
“Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.”




As well as that of Sebastian Faulks (1953 - ) who said:

“People never explain to you exactly what they think and feel and how their thoughts and feelings work, do they? They don't have time. Or the right words. But that's what books do. It's as though your daily life is a film in the cinema. It can be fun, looking at those pictures. But if you want to know what lies behind the flat screen you have to read a book. That explains it all.”
