Today is the birthday of the following people:
Arthur Miller (1915 - 2005):
“Just remember, kid, you can quicker get back a million dollars that was stole than a word that you gave away.”
and
“Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.”
and
“If I have to be alone I want to be by myself.”
and
“The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.”
Nathaniel West (1903 - 1940):
“You once said to me
that I talk like a man in a book. I not only talk, but think and feel like one.
I have spent my life in books; literature has deeply dyed my brain its own
color. This literary coloring is a protective one--like the brown of the
rabbit or the checks of the quail--making it impossible for me to tell where
literature ends and I begin.”
Evel Knievel (1938 –
2007):
“If you fall during
your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get
up.”
and
“I don't have any
problems in life, just situations.”
