Today is the birthday of the following people:
Gail Carson Levine (1947 - ):
“A library is infinity under a roof.”
and
“There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you've read only once can't.”
and
“When you become a teenager, you step onto a bridge. You may already be on it. The opposite shore is adulthood. Childhood lies behind. The bridge is made of wood. As you cross, it burns behind you.”
William Carlos Williams (1883 –
1963):
“If they give you lined paper,
write the other way.”
and
“Poets are damned but they are
not blind, they see with the eyes of angels.”
and
“I think all writing is a
disease. You can't stop it.”
and
“If it ain't a pleasure, it
ain't a poem.”
Hank Williams (1923 – 1953):
“Don't take life TOO serious;
you can't get out alive anyhow.”
Ken Kesey (1935 – 2001):
“The answer is never the answer. What's really
interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer,
you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer. They
think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke
mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The
need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”
Reinhold Messner (1944 – ):
“The wonderful things in life
are the things you do, not the things you have.”
a poem by William Carlos Williams
"Memory of April"
You say love is this, love is
that:
Poplar tassels, willow tendrils
the wind and the rain comb,
tinkle and drip, tinkle and
drip--
branches drifting apart. Hagh!
Love has not even visited this
country.
