Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations....
John Dos Passos (1896
-1970):
“We work to eat to
get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work.”
and
“A novel is a
commodity that fulfills a certain need; people need to buy daydreams like they
need to buy ice cream or aspirin or gin. They even need to buy a pinch of
intellectual catnip now and then to liven up their thoughts...”
Yukio Mishima (1925 –
1970):
“True beauty is
something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys.”
and
“What transforms this
world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything
in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at
the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with
knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are
constantly being transformed.”
and
“Perfect purity is
possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of
blood.”
Taylor Branch (1947 -
):
“The history of
American patriotism is figuring out ways that we can work together to move
forward and knit together the common government.”
Maureen Dowd (1952 -
):
“The minute you
settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.”
and
“Women can stand on
the Empire State Building and scream to the heavens that they are equal to men
and liberated, but until they have the same anatomy, it's a lie. It's more of a
man's world today than ever. Men can eat their cake in unlimited bakeries.”
Anchee Min (1957 - ):
“lack of will power
leads to more failure than lack of intelligence or ability.”
Dave Grohl (1969 - ):
“Through Kurt I saw
the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.”
