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.”
