We are still developing procedures for selecting quotes of the day. This page is forlists quote of the day proposals specifically for dates in the month of '''[[w:April|April]]''', and quotes proposed should ideally have some relation to the day, or persons born on it, though sometimes exceptions can be made, usually for notable quotes that relate to notable currentrecent events, such as the death of prominent individuals. Developing ideas of people or works to quote on specific days can be explored through the Wikipedia page: [[w:List of historical anniversaries|List of historical anniversaries]]. The numeric section heading of each date is also a direct link to the Wikipedia list of births, deaths, and other events which occured on that date.

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity.

2006 : '''Where the storyteller is loyal, eternally and unswervingly loyal to the story, there, in the end, silence will speak. Where the story has been betrayed, silence is but emptiness. But we, the faithful, when we have spoken our last word, will hear the voice of silence." ~ [[Karen Blixen]]''' (date of birth)
== [[w:April 18|18]] ==
2004 : '''The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. ~ [[Bill Hicks]]'''
2005 : '''Music can be all things to all persons. It is like a great dynamic sun in the center of a solar system which sends out its rays and inspiration in every direction.... Music makes us feel that the heavens open and a divine voice calls. Something in our souls responds and understands. ~ [[Leopold Stokowski]]''' (date of birth)

2004 : '''Materialists and madmen never have doubts. ~ [[G. K. Chesterton]]'''
