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

Danica McKellar (1975 - ):

“There is an epidemic right now of girls dumbing themselves down... in middle school because they think it makes them attractive.”

and

“In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, 'Me? You've got to be joking!' I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math.”

and

“Girls think that being glamorous means making mistakes and being irresponsible. And that's just not true. The smarter you are, the better prepared you are to make decisions in your life, the more likely you are to lead a satisfying life and be glamorous and fun and anything you want to be.”

Dan Harmon (1973 - ):

“None of us are bad people. We float around and we run across each other and we learn about ourselves, and we make mistakes and we do great things. We hurt others, we hurt ourselves, we make others happy and we please ourselves. We can and should forgive ourselves and each other for that.”

and

“Don't be so hard on yourself, don't put pressure on yourself, life is just a chain of experiments and results, and you'll be perfect when you're dead.”

and

“Storytelling comes naturally to humans, but since we live in an unnatural world, we sometimes need a little help doing what we'd naturally do.”

Stephen Stills (1945 - ):

“There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature.”

and

“Once you decide that it is the art that is important and not how popular and well received you are, you no longer have an albatross.”

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892 – 1973):

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

and

“Not all those who wander are lost.”

and

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.

But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now

mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.”
