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



Marcel Pagnol (1895 – 1974):
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.”




Linus Pauling (1901 – 1994):
“Science cannot be stopped. Man will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences – and we cannot predict what they will be. Science will go on — whether we are pessimistic, or are optimistic, as I am. I know that great, interesting, and valuable discoveries can be made and will be made… But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe — and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.”

and
“The only sane policy for the world is that of abolishing war.”




Frank Gehry (1929 - ):
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”




Storm Thorgerson (1944 – 2013):
"I like photography because it is a reality medium, unlike drawing which is unreal. I like to mess with reality ... to bend reality. Some of my works beg the question of is it real or not?"




Paul Krugman (1953 - ):
“Politics determine who has the power, not who has the truth.”




Daniel Handler aka Lemony Snicket (1970 - ):
“Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would all stay in our mothers’ wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women.”

and
“Stop saying no offense,” I said, “when you say offensive things. It’s not a free pass.”

and
“A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded.”

and

“I’d ruin any day, all my days, for those long nights with you, and I did.”
