Today is the birthday of the following people:
bell hooks (1952 - ):
“If any female feels she need anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency.”
and
“Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust.”
and
“Feminism is for everybody”
and
“Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.”
and
“Being oppressed means the absence of choices.”
William Faulkner (1897
– 1962):
“Read, read, read. Read everything – trash,
classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works
as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If
it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”
Shel Silverstein
(1930 – 1999):
“How many slams in an
old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you
live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.”
Donald Glover (1983 -
):
“When anybody pays
you to be creative, you're very lucky.”
and
“Careers very rarely
are a waste of time; jobs usually are.”
Jamie Hyneman (1956 -
):
“I don't think our
death ray is working. I'm standing right in it, and I'm not dead yet.”
Christopher Reeve
(1952 – 2004):
“So many of our
dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we
summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”
and
“Once you choose
hope, anything's possible.”
Pedro Almodóvar (1949
- ):
“Cinema can fill in
the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.”
