A very happy 85th to Bob Dylan! Shining wisdom:
“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”
“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.”
“Don't criticise what you can't understand.”
So very sad at the passing of Dame Felicity Lott - not only a great artist (beloved by Carlos Kleiber, among countless others), but also an adorable, fun-loving, deeply kind-hearted, utterly (sometimes ridiculously!) modest, gloriously warm human being. She will be SO much missed
Liberace b otd 1919. He knew exactly what he was about: "Liberace is a creation...The audiences seemed to enjoy the kind of performance I could give them. They kept coming back... and I kept trying to please them." And truly talented: https://t.co/uBdDqjJlBv
Beloved, wonderful Eric Morecambe b otd 100 years ago! So grateful for the joy he gave us.
"I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me."
"I always take my wife morning tea in my pajamas, but is she grateful? No, she says she'd rather have it in a cup."
Comedy day! 3 of the funniest (in different ways) men ever b otd:
Charlie Chaplin (1889): "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
Spike Milligan (1918): "Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light."
Peter Ustinov (1921): "Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious."
Samuel Beckett b otd 120 years ago!
“Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order.”
“The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.”
“The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.”
“There’s man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet.”
A very happy 80th to Liza Minelli - wonderful singer, actress, person...
"Dream on it. Let your mind take you to places you would like to go, and then think about it and plan it and celebrate the possibilities. And don't listen to anyone who doesn't know how to dream."
