Today is the birthday of the following people:
Voltaire (1694 –
1778):
“Let us read, and let
us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”
and
“Life
is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
and
“Judge a man by his
questions rather than by his answers.”
and
“The most important
decision you make is to be in a good mood.”
and
“Think for yourself
and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too.”
and
“Common sense is not
so common.”
Isaac Bashevis Singer
(1902 – 1991):
“When I was a little
boy, they called me a liar, but now that I am grown up, they call me a writer.”
and
“We all play chess
with Fate as partner. He makes a move, we make a move. He tries to checkmate us
in three moves, we try to prevent it. We know we can't win, but we're driven to
give him a good fight.”
and
“Sometimes love is
stronger than a man's convictions.”
Björk (1965 - ):
“There are certain
emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but
you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you.”
Beryl Bainbridge
(1932 – 2010):
“The older one
becomes the quicker the present fades into sepia and the past looms up in
glorious technicolour”
and
“Everything else you
grow out of, but you never recover from childhood.”
and
“What we remember is
probably fiction anyway.”
Marilyn French (1929
– 2009):
“It's strange how men
feel they have the right to criticize a woman's appearance to her face.”
