Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
Jean-Michel Basquiat
(1960 – 1988):
“I don't think about
art when I'm working. I try to think about life.”
Ralph Fiennes (1962 -
):
“The tensions between
authority and the people need to be heard, especially when they are suffering
and they can't eat.”
Charles de Lint (1951
- ):
“We're all made of
stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on.
Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It's a kind of immortality, I suppose,
bounded by limits, it's true, but then so's everything.”
and
“I don't want to live
in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the
people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I cant
change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my
bit.”
and
“Don't forget - no
one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories
that you have to tell.”
Lady Bird Johnson
(1912 – 2007):
“Children are apt to
live up to what you believe of them.”
and
“Perhaps no place in
any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance
requirement is interest.”
Kenneth Rexroth (1905
– 1982):
“The mature man lives
quietly, does good privately, takes responsibility for his actions, treats
others with friendliness and courtesy, finds mischief boring and avoids it.
Without the hidden conspiracy of goodwill, society would not endure an hour.”
and
“I've had it with
these [people] who claim they love poetry but never buy a book.”
Jean Racine (1639 –
1699):
“Life is a comedy to
those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.”
