Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
Ivan Turgenev (1818 –
1883):
“If we wait for the
moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.”
and
“A poet must be a
psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena
but present only the phenomena themselves in full bloom or as they fade away.”
Anne Sexton (1928 –
1974):
“As it has been said:
Love and a cough
cannot be concealed.
Even a small cough.
Even a small love.”
“Put your ear down
close to your soul and listen hard.”
“Only my books anoint
me,
and a few friends,
those who reach into
my veins.”
“The joy that isn't
shared dies young.”
Carl Sagan (1934 –
1996):
“Every one of us is,
in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him
live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.”
and
"It has been said that
astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no
better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of
our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly
with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home
we've ever known.”
and
“The nitrogen in our
DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple
pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”
and
“One glance at a book
and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years.
To read is to voyage through time.”
