Today is the birthday of the following people:
Lily Tomlin (1939 - ):
“When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.”
and
“I said "Somebody should do something about that." Then I realized I am somebody.”
and
“I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.”
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 –
1950):
“You are here for but an
instant, and you mustn't take yourself too seriously.”
Arvonne Fraser (1925 - ):
“I like the feminists who [they]
calls excessive. They make me look respectable, and they'll make life better
for my granddaughter."
Ann Richards (1933 – 2006):
“The public does not like you
to mislead or represent yourself to be something you're not. And the other
thing that the public really does like is the self-examination to say, you
know, I'm not perfect. I'm just like you. They don't ask their public officials
to be perfect. They just ask them to be smart, truthful, honest, and show a
modicum of good sense.”
C.J. Cherryh (1942 - ):
“It is perfectly okay to
write garbage--as long as you edit brilliantly.”
