Today is the birthday of the following people:
Jimi Hendrix (1942 – 1970):
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
and
“Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.”
Bill Nye (1955 - ):
“Everyone you will
ever meet knows something you don't.”
and
“History is but the
record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object,
therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present;
people who ate and possibly drank; people who were born, flourished and died;
not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.”
Bruce Lee (1940 –
1973):
“Do not pray for an
easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”
and
“Be like water making
its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you
shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid,
outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be
formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the
cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a
teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water,
my friend.”
James Agee (1909 –
1955):
“Isn’t every human
being both a scientist and an artist; and in writing of human experience, isn’t
there a good deal to be said for recognizing that fact and for using both
methods?”
and
“In every child who
is born, under no matter what circumstances, and no matter what parents, the
potentiality of the human race is born again.”
