Today is the birthday of the following people:
Tommy Lasorda (1927 - ):
“About the only problem with
success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.”
Fay Weldon (1931 - ):
“Truly, books are wonderful
things; to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and
still be safe when you close the book; and having finished it, discover you are
changed, yet unchanged! To be able to visit the City of Invention at will,
depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be
about.”
Nick Cave (1957 - ):
“Music is storming, driving,
relentless, devotional, slinky, subtle, heartbreakingly-beautiful sounds that,
lyrically, switch from the cynical to the sanguine, the defeated to the
defiant, dealing in love, war, beauty, children, romance, rejection, Pethedine,
poetry, panties, God, Auden, Johnny Cash, cold potatoes, too-much-money, not
enough money, writer’s block, flowers, animals and more flowers. But maybe I’m
projecting here.”
Joan Jett (1958 - ):
“Don’t let anyone tell you that
you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.”
and
“You got nothing to lose, you
don't lose when you lose fake friends.”
