Ownership Quotes (page 2)

I discovered that Human Nature was not, as I had always supposed, a fixed and unalterable entity, that wars are not caused by a natural urge in men to fight, that ownership of land and factories is not necessarily the natural reward of greater wisdom and energy. Jessica Mitford
Rumi quote: "You have forgotten the Onewho doesn't care about ownership,..."
You have forgotten the Onewho doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profitfrom every human exchange. Rumi
Iris Murdoch quote: "What an extraordinary satisfaction there is in cleaning..."
What an extraordinary satisfaction there is in cleaning things! (Does the satisfaction depend on ownership? I suspect so.) Iris Murdoch
Bit by bit, at 124 and in the Clearing, along with others, she had claimed herself. Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another. Toni Morrison
Men are biological. Women are biological. We pretend our minds are in control, but that’s a very tenuous control at best, and a civilized society can’t be built on uncontrolled biology. I see it in my work: intelligence betrayed by lust, by jealousy, by macho ownership; otherwise trustworthy men who can’t be trusted at all around women, or vice versa. Hell, look at Congress. Well-intentioned, progressive, admired law-makers who end up losing it all because they can’t control how they... Sheri S. Tepper

Toni Morrison quote: "Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that..."
Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another. Toni Morrison
It is important for women to have a choice, to have an opportunity to plan their families, because if they don't, the Republicans have said this is an ownership society. You are on your own, and they're going to begrudge that child everything, from WIC to a Pell Grant to health insurance. Gwen Moore
Art Modell quote: "The quality of ownership is not what it was in yesteryear."
The quality of ownership is not what it was in yesteryear. Art Modell
I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean. Bode Miller
Cathy McMorris Rodgers quote: "Private ownership of property is vital to both our freedom and..."
Private ownership of property is vital to both our freedom and our prosperity. Cathy McMorris Rodgers
You know, and younger people today, you know, they may not have Social Security. They may not have a pension. They may have 17 different jobs. And so they have to be - they have to, you know, establish somewhat of an ownership, you know, mentality. Stedman Graham
I feel real ownership in this show. I feel very invested in it. I care very much about it. I don't feel any more like a hired hand, you know? It's a strange feeling - I feel personally responsible for how the story goes. What happens. What the weaknesses are. And so in a way, some of the changes gave me an opportunity to have a voice in a different way. Lauren Graham
People who own property feel a sense of ownership in their future and their society. They study, save, work, strive and vote. And people trapped in a culture of tenancy do not. Henry Louis Gates
So we have broad bipartisan support for the bill, and it's my hope that we can build on some of the things that have been talked about in Washington involving building a larger ownership society. Harold Ford
