Stills Quotes (page 140)

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain... Thomas Jefferson
Even revolution, which transforms a concrete situation of oppression by establishing the process of liberation, must confront this phenomenon. Many of the oppressed who directly or indirectly participate in revolution intend - conditioned by the myths of the old order - to make it their private revolution. The shadow of their former oppressor is still cast over them. Paulo Freire
William Shakespeare quote: "In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness..."
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility. William Shakespeare
...and there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he forever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than the other birds upon the plain, even though they soar. Herman Melville
Robert Plant quote: "there are two roads you can go by, they meet up in the long..."
there are two roads you can go by, they meet up in the long run, but there is still time to change the road your on. Robert Plant
You know, radio DJ's must really love to talk to theirselves. Especially when they have the graveyard shift. 'Hey this is Ellen with 89.1. It is currently three in the morning. There are few cars on the road. And it your still listening heres a little music to get you to dance.. Ellen DeGeneres
William Shakespeare quote: "I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still..."

Happy Valentines Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don’t give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it... Jeanette Winterson
All life on Earth is subject to the rumbles and rockings of the parent stucture which has no control over the disastrous effects of its stresses and strains on whatever thrives on its surface. The ambitions and dreams of men are irrelevant to this planetary giant which pursues its own way in its own manner. Man is its child, tenant and still, to this date, its captive. Jack Kirby
Tracy K. Smith quote: "everything/ that ever was still is, somewhere"
everything/ that ever was still is, somewhere Tracy K. Smith
Jodi Picoult quote: "You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that..."
You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control. Jodi Picoult
Tradition does not mean a dead town; it does not mean that the living are dead but that the dead are alive. It means that it still matters what Penn did two hundred years ago or what Franklin did a hundred years ago; I never could feel in New York that it mattered what anybody did an hour ago. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Stefan Zweig quote: "No guilt is forgotten so long as the conscience still knows of..."
No guilt is forgotten so long as the conscience still knows of it. Stefan Zweig
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. Maya Angelou
I have set off and found that there is no end to even the simplest journey of the mind. I begin, and straight away a hundred alternative routes present themselves. I choose one, no sooner begin, than a hundred more appear. Every time I try to narrow down my intent I expand it, and yet those straits and canals still lead me to the open sea, and then I realize how vast it all is, this matter of the mind. I am confounded by the shining water and the size of the world. Jeanette Winterson
