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

Karl Kraus (1874 – 1936):

“The world is a prison in which solitary confinement is preferable.”

Oskar Schindler (1908 – 1974):

“What is there to say? They are my friends. I would do it again, over and over — for I hate cruelty and intolerance.”

Harper Lee (1926 - ):

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

and

“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”

and

“They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.”

Terry Pratchett (1948 - ):

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”

Roberto Bolaño (1953 – 2003):

“Reading is like thinking, like praying, like talking to a friend, like expressing your ideas, like listening to other people's ideas, like listening to music, like looking at the view, like taking a walk on the beach.”

and

“Nothing good ever comes of love. What comes of love is always something better.”
