Planet Quotes (page 26)

I have the idea that we grandmothers are meant to play the part of protective witches; we must watch over younger women, children, community and also, why not? this mistreated planet, the victim of such unrelenting desecration. Isabel Allende
When I was twelve I was obsessed. Everything was sex. Latin was sex. The dictionary fell open at 'meretrix', a harlot. You could feel the mystery coming off the word like musk. 'Meretrix'! This was none of your mensa-a-table, this was a flash from a forbidden planet, and it was everywhere. History was sex, French was sex, art was sex, the Bible, poetry, penfriends, games, music, everything was sex except biology which was obviously sex but not really sex, not the one which was secret and... Tom Stoppard
It was an unbroken network of causality leading back to the first human who wasn't a chimp. And farther back, to the coalescing of the planets around the sun. If you wish to call that God, go ahead. Orson Scott Card
Meg Cabot quote: "You know what you sound like? A jealous girl friend. And how..."
You know what you sound like? A jealous girl friend. And how are things on Planet You Wish? Meg Cabot
Neoliberal democracy. Instead of citizens, it produces consumers. Instead of communities, it produces shopping malls. The net result is an atomized society of disengaged individuals who feel demoralized and socially powerless. In sum, neoliberalism is the immediate and foremost enemy of genuine participatory democracy, not just in the United States but across the planet, and will be for the foreseeable future. Noam Chomsky
Tony Curtis quote: "I've always believed that service to others is rent we pay for..."
I've always believed that service to others is rent we pay for our time on this planet. Tony Curtis
I'll not always be here on guard. The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away. You won't always be here. But before you go, whisper this to your sons and their sons - "The work was free. Keep it so. L. Ron Hubbard
Meg Cabot quote: "Sometimes we need to take big risks if we want to find out who..."
Sometimes we need to take big risks if we want to find out who we are, and what we were put on this planet for. Meg Cabot
As you are surely aware, our planet is turning on its axis around and around in space. It turns slowly, however, making one complete rotation only every twenty-four hours; and that's a good thing -- isn't it? -- because if our world turned as fast as Gracie's room appeared to be turning, the sun would be either rising or setting every fifteen minutes, astronomers would be as woozy as rodeo clowns, and it'd be nearly impossible to keep our meatballs from rolling out of our spaghetti. Tom Robbins
It must be that there is something naturally absurd in a sincere emotion, though why there should be I cannot imagine, unless it is that man, the ephemeral inhabitant of an insignificant planet, with all his pain and all his striving is but a jest in an eternal mind. W. Somerset Maugham
...Conway would give me no rest until I fought him. I felt it was ordained ages before our birth that we should meet on this planet and fight. Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Terence McKenna quote: "Western civilization is a loaded gun pointed at the head of..."
Western civilization is a loaded gun pointed at the head of this planet. Terence McKenna
Timothy Zahn quote: "Governments and entire planets are important, Threepio. But..."
Governments and entire planets are important, Threepio. But when you sift everything down, they're all just made of people. Timothy Zahn
You want God? Don't look at Scripture, look everywhere, at the planets, the constellations, the universe. Look at a bug, a flea. Look at the manifold wonders of creation, including the Nazis. That's the kind of God you're dealing with. E. L. Doctorow
Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. As I told the foresters, and the women, you don't need a diploma to plant a tree. Wangari Maathai
