Born January 28th

Wednesday, January 28, 1948 - Mikhail Baryshnikov (ballet dancer)

"I like to go to anybody else's birthday and if I'm invited I'm a good guest. But I never celebrate my birthdays. I really don't care. Anyway, this is the last part of my life. Life is over. That's it. I think if I live for the next 10 years I'll be happy. And it's nice that I'm still interested in what I do. I'm grateful to whatever there is for allowing me to do things. But life is over, for sure."

Saturday, January 28, 1933 - Susan Sontag (novelist, essayist: On Photography)

"For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death -- or of anything else -- as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied."
