Changing Quotes (page 198)

At moments of departure and a change of life, people capable of reflecting on their actions usually get into a serious state of mind. At these moments they usually take stock of the past and make plans for the future. Leo Tolstoy

I suspect that many of the great cultural shifts that prepare the way for political change are largely aesthetic J. G. Ballard
It is a terrible thing, this kindess that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give. Ursula K. Le Guin
The ways of love are strange and hard: The love you want is always barred; The love you have you want to change. The ways of love are hard and strange. Orson Scott Card
The immense accretion of flesh which had descended on her in middle life like a flood of lava on a doomed city had changed her from a plump active little woman with a neatly-turned foot and ankle into something as vast and august as a natural phenomenon. She had accepted this submergence as philosohpically as all her other trials, and now, in extreme old age, was rewarded by presenting to her mirror an almost unwrinkled expanse of firm pink and white flesh, in the centre of which the traces...

More than a building that houses books and data, the library has always been a window to a larger world--a place where we've always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward. . . . . Libraries remind us that truth isn't about who yells the loudest, but who has the right information. Because even as we're the most religious of people, America's innovative genius has always been preserved because we also have a deep faith in facts. And so the... Barack Obama
We are changed souls; we don't look at things the same way anymore. For there was a time when we expected the worst. But then the worst happened, did it not? And so we will never be surprised again. Doug Coupland
...the Bill of Rights does not come from the people and is not subject to change by majorities. It comes from the nature of things. It declares the inalienable rights of man not only against all government but also against the people collectively. Walter Lippmann
No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution - Revolution is but thought carried into action. Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not from the mass. Emma Goldman
Jane Austen quote: "How wonderful, how very wonderful the operations of time, and..."
How wonderful, how very wonderful the operations of time, and the changes of the human mind! Jane Austen
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine; Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go.... Oh, you cannot go, without me. Rumi
C. S. Lewis quote: "I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change...."
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on. C. S. Lewis
The way a crow. Shook down on me. The dust of snow. From a hemlock tree. Has given my heart. A change of mood. And saved some part. Of a day I had rued. Robert Frost
Pat Conroy quote: "The English language on her tongue became a smoke-screen,..."
The English language on her tongue became a smoke-screen, without her eyes changing expression in the least. Pat Conroy
There was something I needed to say. “Sorry. About before.” Fang shot a sideways glance at me, his eyes dark and inscrutable, as always. He looked back out at the water. I didn’t expect any more acknowledgment than that. Fang never- “You almost gave me a heart attack,” he said quietly. “When I saw you, and all that blood . . .” He threw a small rock as hard as he could down the beach. “I’m sorry.” “Don’t do it again,” he said. I swallowed hard. “I won’t.” Something changed right then, but I... James Patterson
