Canned Quotes (page 596)

You're alive, that means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change. Neil Gaiman
We need to theorize the meaning of beauty in our lives so that we can educate for critical consciousness, talking through the issues: how we acquire and spend money, how we feel about beauty, what the place of beauty is in our lives when we lack material privilege and even basic resources for living, the meaning and significance of luxury, and the politics of envy. Bell Hooks
Time and tragedy have forced her to grow too quickly, at least for my taste, into a young woman who stitches bleeding wounds and knows our mother can hear only so much. Suzanne Collins
I raise my left arm and twist my neck down to rip off the pill on my sleeve. Instead my teeth sink into flesh. I yank my head back in confusion to find myself looking into Peeta’s eyes, only now they hold my gaze. Blood runs from the teeth marks on the hand he clamped over my nightlock. “Let me go!” I snarl at him, trying to wrest my arm from his grasp. “I can’t,” he says. Suzanne Collins
Mother Teresa quote: "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across..."
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples. Mother Teresa
When it came time for me to give my talk on the subject, I started off by drawing an outline of the cat and began to name the various muscles. The other students in the class interrupt me: "We *know* all that!"Oh," I say, "you *do*? Then no *wonder* I can catch up with you so fast after you've had four years of biology." They had wasted all their time memorizing stuff like that, when it could be looked up in fifteen minutes. Richard P. Feynman
B. B. King quote: "The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it..."
The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you. B. B. King
Everything stated or expressed by man is a note in the margin of a completely erased text. From what's in the note we can extract the gist of what must have been in the text, but there's always a doubt, and the possible meanings are many. Fernando Pessoa
The future cannot be determined. I can only be experienced as it is occurring. Life doesn't know what it will be until it notices what it has become. Margaret J. Wheatley
David Bowie quote: "Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming"
Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming David Bowie
After visiting these two places (Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's lair on Obersalzberg) you can easily see how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country, which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which... John F. Kennedy
Everyone should get dirt on his hands each day. Doctors, intellectuals. Politicians, most of all. How can we presume to uplift the life of the working man, if we don't respect his work? Barbara Kingsolver
Chris Colfer quote: "But one of the big lessons I have learned from my journey is..."
But one of the big lessons I have learned from my journey is you can’t please everyone, so don’t try. Chris Colfer
Without an element of vulgarity, no man can be a work of art...I have to try and think what an artist is, apart from a hooligan who cannot live within his income of praise. Quentin Crisp
A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh. Stephen King
