September 23 - October 23
September 23, 1970 Ani DiFranco:
I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.
September 24, 1896 F. Scott Fitzgerald:
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it - on the inside.
September 25, 1897 William Faulkner:
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He don't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.
September 26, 1888 T. S. Eliot:
It is impossible to design a system so perfect that no one needs to be good.
September 27, 1821 Henri-Frederic Amiel:
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
September 28, 1841 Georges Clemenceau:
Oh to be seventy again. [on passing a pretty girl on the Champs Elysees on his eightieth birthday]
September 29, 1943 Lech Walesa:
We must be courageous but also reasonable. The world admires us for walking a tightrope without falling off. It asks us to keep our balance.
September 30, 1926 Veikko Sinisalo, Finnish actor:
Through my work, my life, I serve as a builder of bridges between people.
October 1, 1888 Marc Edmund Jones, astrologer:
The Libra type ... is the ideal politician or statesman, and is always inclined to agree with the person nearest at hand. He is a successful manager because of his capacity to make pleasant contacts with everyone in any given grouping, but a bad planner or ultimate executive because of his weather-wane temperament.
October 2, 1694 Philip Dormer Chesterfield:
Compliments or congratulations are always kindly taken, and cost nothing but pen, ink, and paper. I consider them as draughts upon good breeding where the exchange is always greatly in favour of the drawer.
October 3, 1900 Thomas Wolfe:
The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.
October 4, 1976 Alicia Silverstone:
My favorite thing in the world is a box of fine European chocolates which is, for sure, better than sex.
October 5, 1951 Karen Allen:
Eventually you love people - friends or lovers - because of their flaws.
October 6, 1925 Shana Alexander:
The mark of a true crush... is that you fall in love first and grope for reasons afterward.
October 7, 1927 R. D. Laing:
When sex comes in the door, love flies out the window. Men are afraid of women and women have good reason to be afraid of men. If I hazarded a guess as to the most endemic, prevalent anxiety among human beings - including fear of death, abandonment, loneliness - nothing is more prevalent than the fear of one another.
October 8, 1915 Bill Vaughan:
If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist it's another nonconformist who does not conform to the prevailing standards of non-conformity.
October 9, 1928 Lassi Nummi, Finnish writer
We need a lot of sense and a drop of madness in order to live until to morrow and even after tomorrow.
October 10, 1900 Helen Hayes:
The story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
October 11, 1884 Eleanor Roosevelt:
