Revolution from above, in some states and cases, is [...] often preferable to the status quo, or to no revolution at all.

Carter Burwell
There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.
Albert Camus
The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.
Albert Einstein
I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil, a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.
Steve Maraboli

Vince Cable
Since my teen years I was interested in martial arts.
Tony Visconti
I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today, it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different.
Sondre Lerche
Even you are not rich enough, Sir Robert, to buy back your past. No man is.
Oscar Wilde
The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.
If the ordinary wage-earner worked four hours a day, there would be enough for everybody and no unemployment -- assuming a certain very moderate amount of sensible organization. This idea shocks the well-to-do, because they are convinced that the poor would not know how to use so much leisure. In America men often work long hours even when they are well off; such men, naturally, are indignant at the idea of leisure for wage-earners, except as the grim punishment of unemployment; in fact, they dislike leisure even for their sons.
Bertrand Russell
I like to express certain things that happen in my life, the joy of spring, the birds singing and young babies coming into the world. You know, the whole thing as well as the part I'm not happy with, the sad part.
Roy Haynes
Seven presidents before him - Democrats and Republicans - tried to expand health care to all Americans. President Obama got it done.

Thomas Hobbes
Whoso belongs only to his own age, and reverences only its gilt Popinjays or smoot-smeared Mumbojumbos, must needs die with it.
Thomas Carlyle
Then I was working in a store in Newark, New Jersey, and I saw an actor in person, and I got so excited. My whole day changed. That's when I decided to challenge myself to make my dreams become a reality.
Derek Luke
In the long run men only hit what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.
Henry David Thoreau
There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.
Robert Griffin III
The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom.
Michael Lewis
We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital - the resource systems upon which we depend to live - instead of our human capital.
Paul Hawken
Doubt begins only at the last frontiers of what is possible.
Ambrose Bierce
There's no right or wrong, success or failure.
Miley Cyrus
Give your dog or cat respect, patience, understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week, that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel.
Ingrid Newkirk
The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.
Federico Garcia Lorca
There was a time when a fool and his money were soon parted, but now it happens to everybody.

Kurt Vonnegut

No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences, so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.
Alfred Adler
Ask not the name of him who asks you for a bed. It is especially he whose name is a burden to him, who has need of an asylum (room).
Victor Hugo
Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.
Louise L. Hay
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

If everyone realized this truth about their own inherent power to create and to attract whatever they desired, not everyone would want to be the president of a country, not everyone would want to live on that mansion on the hill, and not everyone would want the same things you would.
Stephen Richards
I'd think learning to play the guitar would be very confusing for sighted people.
Doc Watson
Nobody loves a woman because she is handsome or ugly, stupid or intelligent. We love because we love.
