Quotes About Change (page 32)

Margaret Mead quote: "It is easier to change a man's religion than to change his diet."
It is easier to change a man's religion than to change his diet. Margaret Mead
He said to himself, that he hated Margaret, but a wild, sharp sensation of love cleft his dull, thunderous feeling like lightning, even as he shaped the words expressive of hatred. His greatest comfort was in hugging his torment; and in feeling, as he had indeed said to her, that though she might despise him, contemn him, treat him with her proud sovereign indifference, he did not change one whit. She could not make him change. He loved her, and would love her; and defy her, and this... Elizabeth Gaskell
We look at mountains and call them eternal, and they seem... but in the course of time, mountains rise and fall, rivers change their courses, starts fall from the sky, and great cities sink beneath the sea. Even gods die, we think. Everything changes. George R. R. Martin
Around the world–even in some of the countries most troubled by poverty or civil war or pollution–many thoughtful people are making a deep, concerted search for a way to live in harmony with each other and the earth. Their efforts, which rarely reach the headlines, are among the most important events occurring today. Sometimes these people call themselves peace workers, at other times environmentalists, but most of the time they work in humble anonymity. They are simply quiet people changing... Eknath Easwaran
Terry Prachett quote: "All things are defined by names. Change the name, and you..."
All things are defined by names. Change the name, and you change the thing. Terry Prachett
Aldous Huxley quote: "We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability."
We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability. Aldous Huxley
Frantz Fanon quote: "They realize at last that change does not mean reform, that..."

John Henry Newman quote: "Here below to live is to change and to be perfect is to have..."
Here below to live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often. John Henry Newman
Science is the only news. When you scan a news portal or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same cyclical dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness; even the technology is predictable if you know the science behind it. Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly Stewart Brand
Louis L'Amour quote: "The only thing that never changes is that everything changes."
The only thing that never changes is that everything changes. Louis L'Amour
As new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. Thomas Jefferson
And this is not the happiness of a magazine writer who sends in his gay little philosophy of life to the editor for the one paragraph spread in front of the magazine: This is a serious happiness full of doubts and strengths. I wonder if happiness is possible. It is a state of mind, but I'd hate to be a bore all my life, if only because of those I love around me. Happiness can change into unhappiness just for the sake of change. Jack Kerouac
Sri Chinmoy quote: "Never worry about things. That you are unable to change...."
Never worry about things. That you are unable to change. Change your own way. Of looking at truth, Sri Chinmoy
The private experience that you perceive forms your world, period. But which world do you inhabit? For if you altered your private sensations of reality, then that world, seemingly the only one, would also change. You do go through transformations of beliefs all the time, and your perception of the world is different. You seem to be, no longer, the person you that you were. You are quite correct? you are not the person that you were, and your world has changed, and not just symbolically. Jane Roberts
Boris has just given me a summary of his views. He is a weather prophet. The weather will continue bad, he says. There will be more calamities, more death, more despair. Not the slightest indication of a change anywhere. The cancer of time is eating us away. Our heroes have killed themselves, or are killing themselves. The hero, then, is not Time, but Timelessness. We must get in step, a lock step, toward the prison of death. There is no escape. The weather will not change. Henry Miller
