Equals Quotes (page 21)

A person does not, as I had imagined, stand motionless and clear before our eyes with his merits, his defects, his plans, his intentions with regard to ourselves (like a garden at which we gaze through a railing with all its borders spread out before us), but is a shadow which we can never penetrate, of which there can be no such thing as direct knowledge, with respect to which we form countless beliefs, based upon words and sometimes actions, neither of which can give us anything but... Marcel Proust
Not a thousand years ago, it was illegal to teach a slave to read. Not a thousand years ago, the Supreme Court decided that separate could not be equal. And today, as we sit here, no one is learning anything in this country. You see a nation which is the leader of the rest of the world, that had to pay the price of that ticket, and the price of that ticket is we're sitting in the most illiterate nation in the world. THE MOST ILLITERATE NATION IN THE WORLD. A monument to illiteracy. And... James Baldwin
Women in the postfeminist era, while supposedly strong and commanding and equal to men in every sense, looked weaker and smaller than ever before. Portia de Rossi
Now, perhaps, we are in a better position to understand the abyss separating Sabina and Franz: he listened eagerly to the story of her life and she was equally eager to hear the story of his, but although they had a clear understanding of the logical meaning of the words they exchanged, they failed to hear the semantic susurrus of the river flowing through them. Milan Kundera
Jacques Derrida quote: "Cinema plus Psychoanalysis equals the Science of Ghosts."
Cinema plus Psychoanalysis equals the Science of Ghosts. Jacques Derrida
I'm thinking of how unexpected and yet oddly preordained life can be. Events are upon you in an instant, unforseen and without warning, and often times marked with disappointment and tragedy, but equally often leading to a better understanding of the bittersweet truth of life. Rob Lowe
Morrie Schwartz quote: "Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can..."
Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another Morrie Schwartz
We've got rights the right to starve. We've got jobs waiting for work. We're all brothers lousy and dirty. We're all free and equal to die like dogs Peter Weiss
Edward Abbey quote: "Each thing in its way, when true to its own character, is..."
Each thing in its way, when true to its own character, is equally beautiful. (p 41) Edward Abbey
To work, her dumb lunge says, is to move a certain mass... through a certain distance, is to pull your weight and feelexact and equal to it. Feel dragged upon. And buoyant. Seamus Heaney
Clearly, only very unequal intellectual and moral standing could justify having equality imposed, whether the people want it or not, as Dworkin suggests, and only very unequal power would make it possible. Thomas Sowell
John Locke quote: "Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another..."
Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions. John Locke
Emily Bronte quote: "He'll love and hate equally under cover, and esteem it a..."
He'll love and hate equally under cover, and esteem it a species of impertinence to loved or hated again. Emily Bronte
It is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive that like the spirit of a plant or an animal it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing. The thought and the form are equal in the order of time, but in the order of genesis the thought is prior to the form. Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one can prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that... Bertrand Russell
