M. Night Shyamalan was born on August 6, 1970
See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? More quotations from M. Night Shyamalan |

Soleil Moon Frye was born on August 6, 1976
Everything is strange in our world now, and that's definitely true in large part for my dad. But what he taught me-and this is switching gears just a little bit-is the importance of, I guess, seizing the day. It's a beautiful thing if you can find it, to be in the moment. It's a nice refuge from our reality that I try take sometimes-to free myself to dance, to love, you know, and leave all the scary stuff for tomorrow. More quotations from Soleil Moon Frye |

Josh Schwartz was born on August 6, 1976
[You can also expect fewer titillating twists, like the girl-girl kiss (and subsequent romance) between Marissa and Alex (played by Mischa Barton and Olivia Wilde ).] That was a double-edged sword for us, ... because we were asked to pull back [on the duration of the kiss] while at the same time it was very heavily hyped. It was like some sort of game. But while everybody thought the kiss would be the start and end of it for them, for us it was really about doing a real relationship and showing how, after it ended, Marissa would be at a place of greater maturity.

Theodor W. Adorno died on August 6, 1969
German philosopher, 1903-1969The lie has long since lost its honest function of misrepresenting reality. Nobody believes anybody, everyone is in the know. Lies are told only to convey to someone that one has no need either of him or his good opinion. More quotations from Theodor W. Adorno |  |

Pope Paul VI died on August 6, 1978
Italian pope. 1897-1978Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. More quotations from Pope Paul VI |  |

Harry Curtis died on August 6, 1989
Through November [2002], we believed that discretionary consumer spending growth of 3 percent was adequate to support increased gaming spending. Room availability in Las Vegas during New Year's, however, indicates retrenching demand and what we believe to be an increasingly cautious consumer. More quotations from Harry Curtis |

Edsger Dijkstra died on August 6, 2002
Dutch computer scientist. Turing Award in 1972. 1930-2002It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration. More quotations from Edsger Dijkstra |  |
