HAPPY BIRTHDAY

see "TIME" for related links


May your life be mellow
May your life be sweet,
May flowers bloom
As you walk down the street,
May the music play
At just your pace
And may a monster
Never eat your face.

In the New Year, may your right hand always
be stretched out in friendship, never in want.
--Irish toast

No one ever regarded the First of January with
indifference. It is that from which all date
their time, and count upon what is left. It is
the nativity of our common Adam.
--Charles Lamb (1775—1834)
English essayist.t

The new-year is the season in which custom seems more
particularly to authorize civil and harmless lies, under
the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess
wishes, which they seldom form; and concern which
they seldom feel.
--Lord Chesterfield [Philip Dormer Stanhope] (1694—1773)
British writer and politician.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
--Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809—1892)
English poet.
_In Memoriam_ CVI (1850)

see: "POVERTY"
see "UNHAPPINESS" for other related links


When I hear my friends say they hope their children
don't have to experience the hardships they went
through — I don't agree. Those hardships made us
what we are. You can be disadvantaged in many
ways, and one way may be not having had to
struggle.

When posterity recounts the achievements of Europe, shall
we let men say that three centuries of painstaking cultural
effort carried us no further than from the fanaticism of

men always seek some idiotic fiction in the name of which
they can hate one another. Once it was religion; now it is

German novelist, poet, and winner of the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.
_Demian_ [1919]

The Americans are poor haters in international affairs
because of their innate feeling of superiority over all
foreigners. An American's hatred for a fellow American
(for Hoover or Roosevelt) is far more virulent than any
antipathy he can work up against foreigners...Should
Americans begin to hate foreigners wholeheartedly, it
will be an indication that they have lost confidence
in their own way of life.

One tin soldier rides away.

--Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter,

which it is stored as well as destroy the object

Burning stakes do not lighten the darkness.
--Stanislaw Jerzy Lec (1909—1966)
Polish writer.

Hating gets going, it goes round, it gets older
and tighter and older and tighter, until it holds
a person inside it like a fist holds a stick.
--Ursula K. Le Guin (1929— )
American writer.
_Always Coming Home_ [1985]

-

destroy yourself.
--Richard Nixon (1913—1994)
American Republican statesman, President [1969—1974].
Address to staff after resigning the Presidency [9 August 1974].

I'll never forget something that my father told me:
When he was a teenager in Europe, all the walls
were covered with graffiti that said, 'Jews, Go to
Palestine.' And when he went back to Europe as
an adult, all the walls were covered with graffiti
that said, 'Jews, Get Out of Palestine.' And my
father understood this message perfectly, the
emotional meaning of this message, which was:
Get out of here and get out of there. Just don't
come to us. Don't be here and don't be there.
In other words, don't be. We may not kill you
— that's dirty, we're not like that, but you will
not be. You will die.
--Amos Oz (1939— )
Israeli writer and journalist.

If a man sets out to hate all the miserable creatures he
meets, he will not have much energy left for anything
else; whereas he can despise them, one and all, with
the greatest ease.
--Arthur Schopenhauer (1788—1860)
German philosopher.

They hate not only their enemies but everyone
who does not share their hatred.
--George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950)

propagandist, and winner of the Nobel Prize

America's greatest enemy is not from without, but

Roman Catholic bishop; the first popular
preacher to appear on television.
_Preface To Religion_ [1946]

The greatest flood has the soonest ebb;
the sorest tempest the most sudden calm;
the hottest love the coldest end; and from
the deepest desire oftentimes ensues the
deadliest hate.
--Socrates (470?—399 B.C.)
Greek philosopher.
In Andy Zubko _Treasury of Spiritual Wisdom_ [2003].

We in the West simply do not want to believe that
this kind of hatred still exists; and when it emerges,
we feel uncomfortable. We do everything we can to
change the subject. Why the denial, I ask myself?
What is it about this sickness that we do not
understand by now? And what possible excuse do
we have not to expose and confront it with all
the might we have?
--Andrew Sullivan (1963— )
Anglo-American journalist.
(Of anti-semitism.)

One cannot overestimate the power of a good
rancorous hatred on the part of the *stupid.*
The stupid have so much more industry and
energy to expend on hating. They build it
up like coral insects.
--Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893—1978)
English writer.
Diary [26 September 1954].

I will permit no man to narrow and degrade
my soul by making me hate him.
--Booker T. Washington (1856—1915)
African-American educator.

There are few mortals so insensible that their affections cannot
he gained by mildness, their confidence by sincerity, their hatred
by scorn or neglect.
--Johann Georg Zimmermann (1728—1795)
Swiss philosophical writer and physician.

-

There is no denying that Hitler and Stalin are alive
today...they are waiting for us to forget, because
this is what makes possible the resurrection of these
two monsters.
--"The Washington Post" [6 August 1980]

Hatred can be nurtured anywhere, idealism can be perverted
into sadism anywhere. If hatred and sadism combine with
modern technology the inferno could erupt anew anywhere.
--_Justice not Vengeance_ [1989]


TOPICAL

The various denunciatory doctrines that reign in
college classrooms are a way of unmasking
success, achievement, accomplishment and
heroism by placing a qualifier before the subject
under attack. For example, 'white' success is
foreordained because it is based on keeping
down other races. 'Male' success is based on
'glass ceilings' and 'gender standards' that winnow
out women. It is an easy game to play once you
get the hang of it. Everyone gets in on the act —
historians, philosophers, English departments,
law schools, even music critics. The message
is that every positive or affirmatory statement
is puffery to serve some vested interest or the
other.

The problem is that once these doctrines of
hate get into a people's consciousness, it is
hard to get them out. There will come a time
when the well-meaning liberal, who tried to
use hateful doctrines as reformist tools, finds
himself in a society overrun with hatreds.

--Paul Craig Roberts,
_Human Events_ [7 May 1999], p. 23
