Today is the birthday of the following people:
A.L. Kennedy (1965 - ):
“Read. As much as you can. As deeply and widely and nourishingly and irritatingly as you can. And the good things will make you remember them, so you won't need to take notes.”
and
“Have more humility. Remember you don't know the limits of your own abilities. Successful or not, if you keep pushing beyond yourself, you will enrich your own life – and maybe even please a few strangers.”
Ichiro Suzuki (1973 -
):
"In baseball,
even the best hitters fail seven of ten times, and of those seven failures
there are different reasons why. Some are personal failures, others are losses
to the pitcher. You just get beat. In those personal failures, I felt I could
have done better."
and
"Chicks who dig
home runs aren't the ones who appeal to me. I think there's sexiness in infield
hits because they require technique. I'd rather impress the chicks with my
technique than with my brute strength. Then, every now and then, just to show I
can do that, too, I might flirt a little by hitting one out."
Doris Lessing (1919 -
):
“Whatever you're
meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.”
and
“That is what
learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life,
but in a new way.”
Timothy Leary (1920 –
1996):
“Think for yourself
and question authority.”
and
“You're only as young
as the last time you changed your mind.”
and
“Women who seek to be
equal with men lack ambition.”
and
“The universe is an
intelligence test.”
and
“Civilization is
unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.”
and
“You can always pick
up your needle and move to another groove.”
and
“We are dealing with
the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with
nowhere to go.”
