Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...



Mervyn Peake (1911 – 1968):
“Lingering is so very lonely when one lingers all alone.”

and
“We are all imprisoned by the dictionary. We choose out of that vast, paper-walled prison our convicts, the little black printed words, when in truth we need fresh sounds to utter, new enfranchised noises which would produce a new effect.”




Oliver Sacks (1933 - ):
“Every act of perception, is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.”




Jack White (1975 - ):

“It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.”
