Today is the birthday of the following people:
Amy Poehler (1971 - ):
“There’s power in looking silly and not caring that you do.”
and
“Listen. Say Yes. Live in the Moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Try to keep your mind open to possibilities and your mouth closed on matters that you don’t know about. Limit your ‘always’ and your ‘nevers.’ Continue to share your heart with people even if it has been broken.”
Francis Parkman (1823 – 1893):
“Faithfulness to the truth of
history involves far more than research, however patient and scrupulous, into
special facts. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit
of the time.”
T.E. Hulme (1883 – 1917):
“The unit of significance in
the poem is not the word but the phrase or sentence...a poet should consider
the effect of the whole poem, not its local felicities.”
and
“My objection to meter is that
it enables people to write verse with no poetic inspiration.”
and
“The prose writer drags meaning
along with a rope, the poet makes it stand out and hit you.”
Jean Arp (1886 – 1966):
“Art is a fruit that grows in
man.”
H.A. Rey (1898 – 1977):
“Now run along and play, but
don't get into trouble.' George promised to be good. But it is easy for little
monkeys to forget.”
B.B. King (1925 - 2015):
“The beautiful thing about
learning is that nobody can take it away from you.”
John Knowles (1926 – 2001):
“I felt that I was not, never
had been and never would be a living part of this overpoweringly solid and
deeply meaningful world around me.”
