Bob Cousy was born on August 9, 1928
George could literally score at will. There just wasn't anyone who was tall enough or strong enough who had that same sense of prowess. The fact that he was athletic and he could position himself pretty close to the basket made him literally unstoppable. More quotations from Bob Cousy |

Ruggiero Leoncavallo died on August 9, 1919
I find it quite impossible to set to music somebody else's words. I do not understand how any really artistic work can be created in that way. With me words and notes are simultaneous; at least, while I am writing the text, the scaffolding, the framework of the music is going up. The phrasing, the elaboration come afterward.

Hermann Hesse died on August 9, 1962
German born Swiss novelist and poet. Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946, 1877-1962There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself. More quotations from Hermann Hesse |  |
