Today's Words of Wisdom - September 7, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:

Edith Sitwell (1887 – 1964):

“I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.”

and

“Poetry is the deification of reality.”

and

“I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people."

and

“My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.”

and

“I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty...But I am too busy thinking about myself.”

Elinor Wylie (1885 – 1928):

“I was, being human, born alone;

I am, being woman, hard beset;

I live by squeezing from a stone

The little nourishment I get.”

Taylor Caldwell (1900 – 1985):

“It's a funny thing about love: you don't need to have it returned to love somebody. Loving's enough.”

Daniel Inouye (1924 – 2012):

“I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question.”

Eazy-E (1963 – 1995):

“The kids from the streets don't want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don't care if it's ugly; they just want reality.”
