Today is the birthday of the following people:
Bret Harte (1836 – 1902):
“The only sure thing about luck
is that it will change.”
and
“If, of all words of tongue and
pen,
The saddest are, 'It might have
been,'
More sad are these we daily
see:
'It is, but hadn't ought to
be.”
Walt Kelly (1913 – 1973):
“We have met the enemy and he
is us.”
and
“Don't take life so serious. It
ain't nohow permanent.”
and
“In this dark, when we all talk
at once, some of us must learn to whistle.”
and
“If you can't win, don't join
them; learn how to lose.”
Martin Amis (1949 - ):
“Love is an abstract noun,
something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is
solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.”
and
“We all have names we don't
know about.”
Elvis Costello (1954 - ):
“Was it a millionaire who said,
"Imagine no possessions"?”
and
“It's the damage that we do and
never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.”
and
“But it's easier to say 'I love
you',
than 'Yours, sincerely' I
suppose.”
and
“I wish you luck with a capital
"F".”
Jeff Tweedy (1967 - ):
“You have to learn how to die
if you wanna be alive.”
and
“she's a jar with a heavy lid
my pop-quiz kid
a sleepy kisser, a pretty war
you know she begs me not to
miss her”
