Era Quotes

Phyllis Schlafly quote: "ERA means abortion funding, means homosexual privileges, means..."
ERA means abortion funding, means homosexual privileges, means whatever else. Phyllis Schlafly
I went through the whole number, you know. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Thelonious Monk is still one of my favorites. So a lot of these people had their effect on me. Mose Allison
Because we live in a largely free society, we tend to forget how limited is the span of time and the part of the globe for which there has ever been anything like political freedom: the typical state of mankind is tyranny, servitude, and misery. The nineteenth century and early twentieth century in the Western world stand out as striking exceptions to the general trend of historical development. Political freedom in this instance clearly came along with the free market and the development of... Milton Friedman
I was never going to get any sleep. I was going to have Alice in Wonderland conversation after Alice in Wonderland conversation until I died of exhaustion. Here, in the restful, idyllic Victorian era. Connie Willis
Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind, and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ovid quote: "Qui non est hodie eras minus aptus erit. He who is not..."
Qui non est hodie eras minus aptus erit. He who is not prepared today will be less so tomorrow. Ovid
One thought alone preoccupies the submerged mind of Empire: how not to end, how not to die, how to prolong its era. By day it pursues its enemies. It is cunning and ruthless, it sends its bloodhounds everywhere. By night it feeds on images of disaster: the sack of cities, the rape of populations, pyramids of bones, acres of desolation. J. M. Coetzee
Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender. Paulo Coelho
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "four geological eras had to pass so that human beings would be..."
four geological eras had to pass so that human beings would be able to outsing the birds and die for love. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Every last minute of my life has been preordained and I'm sick and tired of it. How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: the Italian Renaissance penciled in for right after the Dark Ages.... The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Postmodern Era, then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and the tidal waves, God's got me... Chuck Palahniuk
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
Whatever art offered the men and women of previous eras, what it offers our own, it seems to me, is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit. The town I grew up in had many vacant lots; when I go back now, the vacant lots are gone. They were a luxury, just as tigers and rhinoceri, in the crowded world that is making, are luxuries. Museums and bookstores should feel, I think, like vacant lots - places where the demands on us are our own demands, where the spirit can find exercise in... John Updike
Johnny Depp quote: "I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another..."
I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time. Johnny Depp
Marilyn French quote: "In the beginning was the Mother, the Word began a new era, one..."
In the beginning was the Mother, the Word began a new era, one we have come to call Patriarchy. Marilyn French
The human beings at the helm of the new nation [USA], whatever their limitations [slave owners, anti-democracy], were truly revolutionary. The theory of liberty born in that era, the seed of the idea, was perfect. More important, the idea itself carried within it the moral power to correct the contradictions in its execution that were obvious from the very birth of the new nation. Naomi Wolf
