Changing Quotes (page 127)

I'm vile and perverted. I'm obsessed and deranged. I've existed for years but very little has changed. I'm the tool of the government and industry too. For I'm destined to rule and regulate you. You may think I'm pernicious, but you can't look away. I'll make you think I'm delicious with the stuff that I say. I'm the best you can get... have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozing out of your TV set.... Frank Zappa
It is quite common to hear high officials in Washington and elsewhere speak of changing the map of the Middle East, as if ancient societies and myriad peoples can be shaken up like so many peanuts in a jar. Edward Said
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "She would never change, but one day at the touch of a..."
She would never change, but one day at the touch of a fingertip she would fall to dust. Simone de Beauvoir
My favorite quote: The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land... In short, a land ethic changes the role of Homo sapiens from conqueror of the land-community to plain member and citizen of it. It implies respect for his fellow-members, and also respect for the community as such. Aldo Leopold
Harper Lee quote: "Try fighting with your head for a change...it's a good one,..."
Try fighting with your head for a change...it's a good one, even if it does resist learning. Harper Lee
Nick Hornby quote: "I feel as though I made a face and the wind changed, and now I..."
...I feel as though I made a face and the wind changed, and now I have to go through life grimacing in this horrible way. Nick Hornby
--There you are. The sight of the changing world is miraculous and heartbreaking, both at the same time.--But so it is for me too. The heartbreaking side of growing old is not in the things around one but in oneself. Simone de Beauvoir
What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct and elevate. This book wouldn't elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purposes whatever. All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading "the best hundred books," you may take this for half an hour. It will be a change. Jerome K. Jerome
We are here to witness. There is nothing else to do with those mute materials we do not need. Until Larry teaches his stone to talk, until God changes his mind, or until the pagan gods slip back to their hilltop groves, all we can do with the whole inhuman array is watch it. Annie Dillard
The process begins with the individual woman’s acceptance that American women, without exception, are socialized to be racist, classist and sexist, in varying degrees, and that labeling ourselves feminists does not change the fact that we must consciously work to rid ourselves of the legacy of negative socialization. Bell Hooks
There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars hath been. The stillness of the central sea. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Leave the problems of God to God and karma to karma. Today you're here and nothing you do will change that. Today you are alive and here and honored and blessed with good fortune. Look at this suset, it's beautiful, neh? This sunset exists. Tomorrow does not exist. There is only now. Please look. It is so beautiful and it will never happen ever again, never, not this sunset, never in all infinity. Lose yourself in it, make yourself one with nature and do not worry about karma, yours, mine, or... James Clavell
If you had hope, maybe you could find a way to make things change,. Because if you thought about it, there were so many reasons to try. Suzanne Collins
Politics is good; when it works properly, disagreements get solved without people beating each other up. But when a regime knows its days are numbered, there's always the chance it may use its position to change the rules and make the debate it is losing irrelevant. Vernor Vinge
Orhan Pamuk quote: "I read a book one day and my whole life was changed."
I read a book one day and my whole life was changed. Orhan Pamuk
