BIRTHDAYS JUNE 4
ROBERT FULGHUM AUTHOR. 1937—
THE EXAMINED LIFE IS NO PICNIC.
SOLITUDE IS NO THE SAME AS LONELINESS. SOLITUDE IS A BOAT FLOATING
IN A SEA OF POSSIBLE COMPANIONS.
ALL I NEED TO KNOW . . . I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN.
STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK OUR BONES, BUT WORDS WILL BREAK OUR HEARTS.
DON’T WORRY THAT CHILDREN NEVER LISTEN TO YOU; WORRY THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS WATCHING YOU.
IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY WHEN OUR SCHOOLS HAVE ALL THE MONEY THEY NEED AND OUR AIR FORCE
HAS TO HAVE A BAKE SALE TO BUY A BOMBER.
THE WINDING DOWN OF SUMMER PUTS ME IN HEAVY PHILOSOPHICAL MOOD.
I FEAR THE BOREDOM THAT COMES FROM NOT LEARNING AND NOT TAKING CHANCES.
TO BE HUMAN IS TO KEEP RATTLING THE BARS OF THE CAGE OF EXISTENCE,
HOLLERING, “What’s it for?”
I’VE ALWAYS MADE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN MAKING A LIFE AND MAKING A LIVING.
I TALK ABOUT VERY SERIOUS HUMAN AFFAIRS BUT WITH A LIGHTNESS OF HEART.
CECILIA BARTOLI MUSICIAN 1966—
MUSIC IS A WAY TO DREAM TOGETHER AND GO TO ANOTHER DIMENSION.
ACTUALLY, I FEEL MUSIC BECOMING MORE IMPORTANT. IT’S A BIG SOURCE
OF INSPIRATION. WITH WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE WORLD, WE FEEL ALMOST DESPERATE.
MUSIC ALSO BRINGS YOU PEACE.
I AM A PERSON OF THE 18TH CENTURY.
WELL, WHAT I TRIED TO DO IS TO LISTEN TO MY VOICE, BECAUSE MY VOICE IS MY BOSS.
SHE DECIDES.
ANGELINA JOLIE ACTRESS, ACTIVIST. 1975—
MAKE BOLD CHOICES AND MAKE MISTAKES. IT’S ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ADD
UP TO THE PERSON YOU BECOME.
IF YOU DON’T GET OUT OF THE BOX YOU’VE BEEN RAISED IN,
YOU WON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH BIGGER THE WORLD IS.
I NEED MORE SEX. OK? BEFORE I DIE I WANNA TASTE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.
WITHOUT PAIN, THERE WOULD BE NO SUFFERING, WITHOUT SUFFERING WE WOULD NEVER LEARN
FROM OUR MISTAKES. TO MAKE IT RIGHT, PAIN AND SUFFERING IS THE KEY TO ALL WINDOWS,
THERE IS NO WAY OF LIFE.
I ALWAYS PLAY WOMEN I WOULD DATE.
WHEN OTHER LITTLE GIRLS WANTED TO BE BALLET DANCERS I KIND OF WANTED TO BE A VAMPIRE.
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT DEATH THAT IS COMFORTING. THE THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD DIE
TOMORROW FREES YOU TO APPRECIATE LIFE NOW.
I HAVE SO MUCH IN MY LIFE. I WANT TO BE OF VALUE TO THE WORLD.
EVERYONE GOT KIND OF CRAZY WITH ME MENTIONING I WAS IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN.
I LEARNED THAT WE ALL CHANGE CONSTANTLY. IT’S RARE TO FIND THAT PERSON WHO IS
GROWING WITH YOU AT THE SAME WAY AT THE SAME TIME, WHO ENCOURAGES YOU TO GROW.
