Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Quote: “An aphorism ought to be entirely…”

An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.

October 28, 2021 1772, German, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel, March 10, Quotes by Poets

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quote: “When she had passed, it seemed…”

October 28, 2021 1807, American, February 27, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Quotes by Poets

Dolores Huerta Quote: “My mother never made me do…”

My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that’s an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.

October 28, 2021 1930, American, April 10, Dolores Huerta, Quotes by Activists

Meghan O’Rourke Quote: “A mother, after all, is your…”

A mother, after all, is your entry into the world. She is the shell in which you divide and become a life. Waking up in a world without her is like waking up in a world without sky: unimaginable.

Joe Hill Quote: “I will die like a true-blue…”

Temple Grandin Quote: “What I’ve tried to do is…”

What I’ve tried to do is combine both my personal experiences with scientific research. I like to cross the divide between the personal world and the scientific world.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol Quote: “All men have one entrance into…”

All men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

Hampton Sides Quote: “I don’t concentrate on any one…”

I don’t concentrate on any one period of history; I like to locate my stories in wildly different eras and places. I seem to be drawn to large, sprawling, uncomfortable swaths of American history, finding embedded within them a tight narrative that involves strife, heroism, and survival under difficult circumstances.

October 26, 2021 1962, American, Hampton Sides, Quotes by Historians

Maya Angelou Quote: “I’m convinced of this: Good done…”

I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.

October 26, 2021 1928, American, April 4, Maya Angelou, Quotes by Poets

Maya Angelou Quote: “Every December, I host a tree-trimming…”

Every December, I host a tree-trimming party. I serve chili with cornbread and lots of good wine. It’s a wonderful party, and it shows how much adults like to play.

October 25, 2021 1928, American, April 4, Maya Angelou, Quotes by Poets
