Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
Frank Zappa (1940 –
1993):
“Some scientists
claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of
the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and
that is the basic building block of the universe.”
Benjamin Disraeli
(1804 – 1881):
“Be amusing: never
tell unkind stories; above all, never tell long ones.”
Gustave Kahn (1859 –
1936):
"Why pick at old
wounds?
It was so long ago.
All is well finished
that causes
Remembrances of
spring.
Why dwell on the
past?
But your heart
betrays
That other old regret
Of fond times with
another."
Rebecca West (1892 –
1983):
“I myself have never
been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call
me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a
doormat.”
and
“You must always
believe that life is as extraordinary as music says it is.”
and
“The world is round
and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.”
and
“There was a definite
process by which one made people into friends, and it involved talking to them
and listening to them for hours at a time.”
Anthony Powell (1905
– 2000):
“Books do furnish a
room.”
and
“Growing old is like
being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.”
Paul Revere (1734 –
1818):
Paul Revere never
shouted the legendary phrase later attributed to him (“The British are coming!”)
as he passed from town to town. The operation was meant to be conducted as
discreetly as possible since scores of British troops were hiding out in the
Massachusetts countryside. Furthermore, colonial Americans at that time still
considered themselves British; if anything, Revere may have told other rebels
that the “Regulars”—a term used to designate British soldiers—were on the move.
