Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...



Robert W. Service (1874 – 1958):
“Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.”

and
“I like to think that when I fall,
A rain-drop in Death's shoreless sea,
This shelf of books along the wall,
Beside my bed, will mourn for me.”





William Kennedy (1928 - ):
“Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fate.”

and
“We are only possible as what happened to us yesterday. We all change as well move.”





Dian Fossey (1932 – 1985):
“The man who kills the animals today is the man who kills the people who get in his way tomorrow.”

and
“When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.”





Susan Sontag (1933 – 2004):
“My library is an archive of longings.”

and
“Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It's all about paying attention; attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager; stay eager.”

and

“A writer, I think, is someone who pays attention to the world."
