Today is the birthday of the following people:
Annie Proulx (1935 - ):
“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
and
“If you can't fix it, you have to stand it.”
Dorothy Parker (1893 – 1967):
“The cure for boredom is
curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.”
and
“Beauty is only skin deep, but
ugly goes clean to the bone.”
and
“This is not a novel to be
tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”
and
“I hate writing, I love having
written.”
Ray Bradbury (1920 – 2012):
“You don't have to burn books
to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
and
“You must stay drunk on writing
so reality cannot destroy you.”
and
“You must write every single
day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like
ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy
heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that
love, remake a world.”
Carl Yastrzemski (1939 - ):
"Ed (Runge), you're the
second best umpire in the league. The other twenty-three are tied for
first."
