Misty

Random quote of the day:

“It’s important for me to set an example of what a healthy image is…What a ballerina can be, that she doesn’t have to be a white woman that’s rail thin. She can look like the world.”

Tolerate

Inevitable

Posted by PJ under death, life, quote of the day, writers, writing
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“A writer can have, ultimately, one of two styles: he can write in a manner that implies death is inevitable, or he can write in a manner that implies that death is not inevitable….If you write as if you believe that ultimately you and everyone else alive will be dead, there is a chance that you will write in a pretty earnest style. Otherwise you are apt to be either pompous or soft. On the other hand, in order not to be a fool, you must believe that as much as death is inevitable life is inevitable.

—William Saroyan, preface to The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The Negro has been here in America since 1619….He is not going anywhere else; this country is his home…Let me appeal to the consciences of many silent, responsible citizens of the white community who know that a victory for democracy in Jackson will be a victory for democracy everywhere.”

—Medgar Evers, speech, WLBT radio, Jackson Mississippi, May 20, 1963
(Less than a month later, Medgar Evers was gunned down in his driveway by a white supremacist in front of his wife and children.)

Education

Posted by PJ under education, entertainment, music, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Our purpose is to educate as well as to entertain. Painless preaching is as good a term as any for what we do. If you’re going to come away from a party singing the lyrics of a song, it is better that you sing of self-pride like “We’re a Winner” instead of ‘Do the Boo-ga-loo!’”

—Curtis Mayfield, as quoted in The Sociology of Rock by Simon Frith

Random quote of the day:

Story

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Make up a story…For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don’t tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief’s wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear’s caul.”

―Toni Morrison, The Nobel Lecture In Literature, 1993
