Robert Darnton Quote: “The idea of a national digital…”

The idea of a national digital library has been in the air for a long time, and there was a danger that some people would feel that it’s their property, so to speak.

Mattie Stepanek Quote: “A heartsong doesn’t have to be…”

A heartsong doesn’t have to be a song in your heart. It doesn’t have to be talking about love and peace. It can just be your message. It can be your feeling. Some people might even call it a conscience, even though that’s not really what it is. It’s your message, what you feel like you need to do.

Passion is the driver of achievement in all fields. Some people love doing things they don’t feel they’re good at. That may be because they underestimate their talents or haven’t yet put the work in to develop them.

James Fenton Quote: “Some people think that English poetry…”

Some people think that English poetry begins with the Anglo-Saxons. I don’t, because I can’t accept that there is any continuity between the traditions of Anglo-Saxon poetry and those established in English poetry by the time of, say, Shakespeare. And anyway, Anglo-Saxon is a different language, which has to be learned.

April 15, 2021 1949, April 25, British, James Fenton, Quotes by Poets

John W. Gardner Quote: “Some people have greatness thrust upon…”

Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few have excellence thrust upon them.

Malala Yousafzai Quote: “I think life is always dangerous….”

I think life is always dangerous. Some people get afraid of it. Some people don’t go forward. But some people, if they want to achieve their goal, they have to go. They have to move… We have seen the barbaric situation of the 21st century in Swat. So why should I be afraid now?

March 4, 2021 1997, July 12, Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani, Quotes by Activists
