BIRTHDAYS AUGUST 13, 2023 ALFRED HITCHCOCK, FIDEL CASTRO, TAO PORCHON-LYNCH

TAO PORCHOMN-LYNCH  1918-2020. YOGA MASTER.                   

YOGA is a dance within . . . and then something inside you grows so big, it spills out like champagne, that’s when you dance outside.

       WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, I know it’s going to be the best day of my life. I never think about what I can’t do. Make sure positive thoughts are the first ones you think in the morning. And never procrastinate.

       BREATH is the power behind all things . . . I breathe in and know that good things will happen. 

             I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING ABOUT AGE. I believe sincerely and still do, that there’s nothing I cannot do. I believe that all the power in the universe is right inside me.

I NEVER SAY GOODBYE, I SAY, “AU-REVOIR.” GOODBYE IS SO FINAL. AU-REVOIR MEANS I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN.

AUTUMN is a reminder that while the leaves die and fall, there will always be spring, a chance to replenish and be reborn again. We all have the opportunity to replenish ourselves, to be reborn.

                     THERE IS NOTHING YOU CANNOT DO IF WE HARNESS THE POWER WITH US.

    LEAVE your yawns behind you and feel the tiny new breeze of life lighting up inside you.

ALFRED HITCHCOCK   1899-1980  FILM DIRECTOR.  “PSYCHO”.      

         SUSPENSE is like a woman. the more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.

                    I HAVE A FEELING THAT INSIDE YOU there’s something nobody knows about.

        THE IDEAL HUSBBAND understands every word his wife doesn’t say.

       THERE IS NO TERROR IN THE BANG, ONLY IN THE ANTICIPATION OF IT.

          THERE IS SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOGIC: IMAGINATION.

                      IF I WON’T BE MYSELF, WHO WILL?

              NEVER JUDGE A COUNTRY BY ITS POLITICIANS.

        MYSTERY is an intellectual process . . . but suspense is essentially an emotional process.

THE LENGTH OF THE FILM SHOULD BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ENDURANCE OF THE HUMAN BLADDER.

     TO MAKE A GREAT FILM you need three things — the script, the script and the script.

        REALITY IS SOMETHING THAT NONE OF US CAN STAND, AT ANY TIME.

MAKING A FILM, means, first of all, to tell a story. that story can be an improbable one, but it should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. DRAMA IS REAL LIFE WITH ALL THE BORING PARTS CUT OUT.

            WHEN WE THINK we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.

PEOPLE don’t always express their inner thoughts to one another; a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person really thinks or feels.

FEAR isn’t so difficult to understand. after all, weren’t we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. it’s just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted is every individual.

ALWAYS MAKE THE AUDIENCE SUFFER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

      HAPPINESS IS A SMALL HOUSE WITH A BIG KITCHEN.

              THE MORE SUCCESSFUL THE VILLAIN, THE MORE SUCCESSFUL THE PICTURE.

       FILM your murders like love scenes and film your love scenes like murders.

        A GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD PROVES THAT HORROR IS NOTHING OTHER THAN REALITY.

               NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A FRIEND.

TELEVISION is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn’t change people’s habits. It just kept them inside the house.

            I ENJOY PLAYING THE AUDIENCE LIKE A PIANO.

      IN A GOOD MARRIAGE EACH IS THE OTHERS BETTER HALF.

FIDEL CASTRO  CUBAN REVOLUTION LEADER  1926-2016.         

        THE FIRST THING  a dictator does is finish free press, to establish censorship. There is no doubt that a free press is the first enemy of dictatorship.

    CAPITALISM has neither the capacity, nor the morality, nor the ethics to solve the problems of poverty.

     I BEGAN REVOLUTION with 82 men. if I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and a plan of action.

                                    LET’S GET HAPPY1
