William Seward
"No man will ever be President of the United States who spells Negro with two Gs."
Mrs. Harry St. Clair Zogbaum (Leola Baird Leonard)
"That nonchalant attempt of Eve's
to fashion garments from leaves
was not, as you have heard, inspired
by shame at being unattired."
Virgilia Peterson
"I can understand that memory must be selective, else it would choke on the glut of experience. What I cannot understand is why it selects what it does."
Henry Fonda
"I've been close to Bette Davis for thirty-eight years—and I have the cigarette burns to prove it."
Liberace
"John Gielgud is so camp! When he took home the Oscar for 'Arthur,' he said, 'Just what I've always wanted—a

[hr]
man in my rumpus room.'"
Adrienne Rich
"It's exhilarating to be alive in a time of awakening consciousness; it can also be confusing, disorienting, and painful."
Betty Carter
"If it wasn't for [pimps, prostitutes, hustlers, gangsters, and gamblers] there wouldn't be no jazz! They supported the club owners who bought the music. It wasn't the middle-class people who said 'Let's go hear Charlie Parker tonight.'"
Robert Fripp
"Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence."
Bob Edwards
"When Solomon said that there was a time and a place for everything he had not encountered the problem of parking an automobile."

1791: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart conducts the premiere of his singspeil The Magic Flute, just over two months before his death.
1927: Outfielder Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees hits his 60th home run of the season, breaking his own record and setting a mark that would last until 1961.

1949: The Berlin airlift, caused by the Soviet blockade of overland traffic to West Berlin, ends after more than 277,000 flights from Western nations, which supplied the city with food and fuel for nearly 11 months.
1955: Actor James Dean dies at the age of 24 in an automobile accident in California, having starred in only three motion pictures.

1972: Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Roberto Clemente collects the 3,000th and final hit of his career, three months before dying in a plane crash while on an earthquake relief mission.
This "who share your birthday" link, is missing some of the more modern actors. I know Lacey Chabert (of Mean Girls fame), was born on Sept. 30 (for obvious reasons
).
I didn't know James Dean died on Sept 30 either. It's kind of neat (that the dates are the same), but indeed very sad/horrible incident. Rebel without a cause.......
