Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
Modest Mussorgsky (1839 –
1881):
“In poetry there are two
giants, rough Homer and fine Shakespeare. In music likewise we have two giants,
Beethoven, the thinker, and the superthinker Berlioz.”
and
“I regard the people as a
great being, inspired by a single idea.”
Phyllis McGinley (1905 –
1978):
“A bit of trash now and then
is good for the severest reader. It provides the necessary roughage in the
literary diet.”
and
“Ah, snug lie those that slumber
beneath conviction's roof.
Their floors are sturdy
lumber, their windows weatherproof.
But I sleep cold forever, and
cold sleep all my kind,
For I was born to shiver in
the draft from an open mind.
Born nakedly to shiver in the
draft of an open mind.”
Matthew Broderick (1962 - ):
“I slip from workaholic to
bum real easy.”
Mark Waid (1962 - ):
“Socrates should have written
comics.”
