Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
Colette (1873 – 1954):
“It's so curious: one
can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then
someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower
that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a
drawer... and everything collapses.”
and
“You will do foolish
things, but do them with enthusiasm.”
and
“Put down everything
that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who
can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it."
Philip Levine (1928 -
):
“How weightless/
words are when
nothing will do.”
David Lodge (1935 - ):
“To read is to
surrender oneself to an endless displacement of curiosity and desire from one
sentence to another, from one action to another, from one level of a text to
another. The text unveils itself before us, but never allows itself to be
possessed; and instead of trying to possess it we should take pleasure in its
teasing.”
Rakim (1968 - ):
“Stay wise and the
mind is untouchable.”
and
"Teach the youth to
speak the truth, show them what peace can do."
Sarah McLachlan (1968
- ):
“If you only try to
please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please; the
ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want
to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.”
Mo Rocca (1969 - ):
“My sophomore year I
spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.”
Elijah Wood (1981 - ):
“There is nothing
noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being
superior to your former self.”
and
“I think being
different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the
world.”
