Today is the birthday of the following people:
Jostein Gaarder (1952 - ):
“Wisest is she who knows she
does not know.”
and
“How terribly sad it was that
people are made in such a way that they get used to something as extraordinary
as living.”
and
“It's not a silly question if
you can't answer it.”
and
“A state that does not educate
and train women is like a man who only trains his right arm.”
and
“As long as we are children, we
have the ability to experience things around us--but then we grow used to the
world. To grow up is to get drunk on sensory experience.”
Kool Moe Dee (1962 - ):
“I stayed away from drugs, I
never smoked a pipe. When I wanna get high, I smoke the mic. I never did white
lines, I only write lines, and I ain't sniffin' nothing but the vapors from
hype rhymes.”
The Edge (1961 - ):
“You see, rock and roll isn't a
career or hobby - it's a life force. It's something very essential.”
and
“For me, looking back is akin
to being on a tightrope and looking down. It doesn't help you in the present
moment to deal with what you have to deal with in order to move forward.”
and
“What a song is is a subjective
thing. There's no one real definition for it.”
Dustin Hoffman (1937 - ):
“There's a rebirth that goes on
with us continuously as human beings. I don't understand, personally, how you
can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don't
understand boredom.”
and
“Life stinks, but that doesn't
mean you don't enjoy it.”
Roger Penrose (1931 - ):
“No doubt there are some who,
when confronted with a line of mathematical symbols, however simply presented,
can only see the face of a stern parent or teacher who tried to force into them
a non-comprehending parrot-like apparent competence--a duty and a duty
alone--and no hint of magic or beauty of the subject might be allowed to come through.”
