Making Changes Quotes (page 17)

Consider the blundering anarchic system of the United States the stupidity of some of its lawmakers, the violent reaction, the slowness of its ability to change. Twenty-five key men destroyed could make the Soviet Union stagger, but we could lose our congress, our president, and our general staff and nothing much would have happened. We would go right on. In fact we might be better for it. John Steinbeck
Taylor Swift quote: "If you're lucky enough to have something that makes you..."
If you're lucky enough to have something that makes you different, don't ever change. Taylor Swift
If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world. Noam Chomsky
Any situation in which some men prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence? to alienate humans from their own decision making is to change them into objects. Paulo Freire
Beware of the truth, gentle Sister. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then. Frank Herbert
The thing that bound us together at Apple was the ability to make things that were going to change the world. That was very important. Steve Jobs

God gives us the sun and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Everyday, we try to pretend that we havent perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist- that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. Paulo Coelho
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult. E. B. White
James Patterson quote: "So Fnick, can I change channel?" Iggy asked. "There's a game..."
So Fnick, can I change channel?" Iggy asked. "There's a game on." "Make yourself at home, Figgy." Fang said. James Patterson
I began to know that each morning reasserted the problems of night before, that sleep suspended all but changed nothing, that you couldn’t make yourself over between dawn and dusk. John Knowles
But because me and myself, as you no doubt are well aware, we are going to die, my relation—and yours too—to the event of this text, which otherwise never quite makes it, our relation is that of a structurally posthumous necessity. Suppose, in that case, that I am not alone in my claim to know the idiomatic code (whose notion itself is already contradictory) of this event. What if somewhere, here or there, there are shares in this non-secret’s secret? Even so the scene would not be changed.... Jacques Derrida
The Pope would have an easier job than the President of the United States in adopting a change of course. He has no Congress alongside him as a legislative body nor a Supreme Court as a judiciary. He is absolute head of government, legislator and supreme judge in the church. If he wanted to, he could authorize contraception over night, permit the marriage of priests, make possible the ordination of women and allow eucharistic fellowship with this Protestant churches. What would a Pope do who... Hans Kung
I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in... George Bernard Shaw
In my life I have had various health threats: polio, seizures, a brain aneurysm. None of these things has really changed me much, although it is hard to say for sure. These are events that are part of my life. They make me who I am. I am thankful for them. They are scary. Neil Young
