Pic of the Day: “What are your qualifications?” “Ah. Well… I attended Juilliard… I’m a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I’ve seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT… NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY… NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I’m qualified?” (35th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover’d country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.” (75th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Look. An old crypt. An inscription. ‘So often are you as a blazing torch with flames of burning hemp falling about you flaming, you know not if the flames bring freedom or death, consuming all that you most cherish. Will only ashes remain, and chaos whirling into the void’. The letters are blurred. I can’t read it.” “It’s by Norwid. ‘Or will the ashes hold the glory of a starlike diamond, the Morning Star of everlasting triumph’. “That’s beautiful. ‘Or will the ashes hold the glory of a starlike diamond…’ And what are we?” (65th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “My armor was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon, and now I’m a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys, but one thing you can’t take away – I am Iron Man.” (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I’ve been working since I was 10. I want to find out why I’m working. It can’t just be to pay bills and pile up more money. Even if you do, the government’s going to take most of it.” “But what is the answer?” “I don’t know. That’s what I intend to find out. The world’s changing out there. There are a lot of new, exciting ideas running around. Some may be right and some may be cockeyed but they’re affecting all our lives. I want to know how I stand, where I fit in the picture, what it’s all gonna mean to me. I can’t find that out sitting behind some desk in an office, so as soon as I get enough money together, I’m going to knock off for a while.” (85th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “In the town where I was born / Lived a man who sailed to sea / And he told us of his life / In the land of submarines / So we sailed on to the sun / Till we found the sea of green / And we lived beneath the waves / In our yellow submarine / We all live in a yellow submarine / Yellow submarine, yellow submarine / We all live in a yellow submarine / Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.” ♫ (55th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “They didn’t give us much time, did they? Goodbye, Lucy dear.” “Goodbye, darling.” “In case I don’t see you again…” “What?” “Well, anything might happen. The train could jump off the track. If it should happen that I don’t see you again, it’s been very nice knowing you, Miss Breckenridge.” “Bark, that’s probably the prettiest speech you ever made. And in case I don’t see you a… well, for a little while. I just want to tell you, it’s been lovely. Every bit of it. The whole 50 years. I’d sooner have been your wife, Bark, than anyone else on earth.” (85th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “They may take you from me / I’ll miss your fond caress / But though they take you from me / I’ll still possess / The way you wear your hat / The way you sip your tea / The memory of all that / No, no, they can’t take that away from me / The way your smile just beams / The way you sing off key / The way you haunt my dreams / No, no, they can’t take that away from me” ♫ (85th Anniversary)
