Alvin Kernan
The status quo is the only solution that cannot be vetoed.
Clark Kerr
Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.
Jean Kerr

Even though a number of people have tried, no one has ever found a way to drink for a living.
Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent.
Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.
Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house.
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Harry S. Truman
The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible.
Land: A part of the earth's surface, considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the superstructure.
Ambrose Bierce
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Confucius
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.
Henry Ward Beecher
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Marshall McLuhan
Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Pablo Picasso
The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
Malcolm Forbes
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
Rabindranath Tagore
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
Aristotle
The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.
Arnold H. Glasow
We cannot build the future by avenging the past.
T.H. White
Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.
Edgar Allan Poe
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Henry David Thoreau
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist.
Franz Liszt
Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.
Thomas Moore
What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?
James Madison
So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.
Will Rogers
Responsibility begins with the willingness to be cause in the matter of one's life. Ultimately, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no evaluation of good or bad, right or wrong. There is simply what's so, and your stand. Being responsible starts with the willingness to deal with a situation from the view of life that you are the generator of what you do, what you have and what you are. That is not the truth. It is a place to stand. No one can make you responsible, nor can you impose responsibility on another. It is a grace you give yourself - an empowering context that leaves you with a say in the matter of life.
Werner Erhard
There is no mystery attached to the fact that, in this new era in human history, when for the first time large numbers of people can live unconstrained lives involving high levels of choice, there is a concurrent explosion in depression rates. The burden of responsibility for making innumerable choices can result in a person's becoming psychologically tyrannized by them.
Gregg D. Jacobs, The Ancestral M
You thought, as a boy, that a mage is one who can do anything. So I thought, once. So did we all. And the truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at least he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he must do.
Ursula K. LeGuin, A Wizard of Ea
Percussion music is revolution. Sound and rhythm have too long been submissive to the restrictions of nineteenth century music. Today we are fighting for their emancipation. Tomorrow, with electronic music in our ears, we will hear freedom. At the present stage of revolution, a healthy lawlessness is warranted. Experiment must necessarily be carried on by hitting anything-tin pans, rice bowls, iron pipes-anything we can lay our hands on. Not only hitting, but rubbing, scraping, making sound in every possible way...What we can't do ourselves will be done by machines which we will invent.
John Milton Cage
Songs are funny things. They can slip across borders. Proliferate in prisons. Penetrate hard shells. I always believed that the right song at the right moment could change history.
Pete Seeger
I am saying voluntarily that I have sung for almost every religious group in the country, from Jewish and Catholic, and Presbyterian and Holy Rollers and Revival Churches. I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, make me less of an American.
Pete Seeger, from testimony for
We all have the means to bestow on others the most lavish gifts; love, joy, peace, hope, kindness, acceptance, encouragement, laughter, forgiveness, time. There is not enough money to buy them and not too little money to give them. The more you spend, the wealthier you become; yet nothing will cost you more than what you freely possess to give.
Eden Eliot, quotation submitted
Teamwork is the quintessential contradiction of a society grounded in individual achievement.
Marvin R. Weisbord
All fundamental political problems are problems of relationships; therefore, all fundamental solutions have to involve fundamental changes in relationships.
David Mathews, The Dialogue of D
Instead of focusing on their individual agendas, collaborative partnerships establish common goals. In order to address problems that lie beyond any single agency's exclusive purview, but which concern them all, partners agree to pool resources, jointly plan, implement, and evaluate new services and procedures, and delegate individual responsibility for the outcomes of their joint efforts.This quote comes from an oft-cited monograph by Atelia I. Melaville with Martin J. Blank called What It Takes: Structuring Interagency Partnerships to Connect Children and Families with Comprehensive Services (Washington DC: Education and Human Services Consortium, 1991).http://www.scottlondon.com/reports/ppcc.html
