The problem I have with socialist utopias is there's some kind of committees trying to soften outcomes for people. I think that imposes models of outcomes for other people's lives. So in a spiritual sense there's some bit of libertarian in me. But the critical thing for me is moderation. And if you let that go far you do end up with a winner-take-all society that ultimately crushes everybody even worse. ~Jaron Lanier

To have success in your professional life is not so hard. To succeed as a man is more difficult. ~Yann Arthus-Bertrand

In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

Whenever armed forces are used, the idea of combat must be present. The end for which a soldier is recruited, clothed, armed, and trained, the whole object of his sleeping, eating, drinking, and marching is simply that he should fight at the right place and the right time. ~Carl von Clausewitz

I don't believe in the clash of cultures. The culture is one. The culture is a ring off the same chain. Picasso was very much influenced by the African arts, and he influenced a whole other generation of artists. So everything influences everything. ~Marjane Satrapi

I wear my shadows where they are harder to see, but they follow me everywhere. I guess that should tell me I am travelling toward light. ~Bruce Cockburn
#quotes #bruce-cockburn #light

It's hard to say that my twenties were the most miserable time in my life or that my first wife drove me crazy or that I hated the job that I had. You can say all of those things. But for the most part, people manage to have a good time when they're that age. ~Frank Stella

There is something of a painting of a woman that represents all women; and by extension, all of humanity; that I just find very exciting. It is a nice distillation, I think, of what it means to be alive. ~Will Cotton

I try to work every day, even when I am not motivated. Ritual is very important to me. ~Mel Ramos

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get. ~H. Jackson Brown Jr.

All artists are anarchists in some way; some more extreme than others, but it is something that I think artists are supposed to do. We are supposed to present a different angle on everything, and I certainly think it is as much as poetry, in my opinion. ~Robert Zemeckis

Fortune is a woman; if you neglect her today do not expect to regain her tomorrow. ~French Proverb

When you have gone so far that you can't manage one more step, then you've gone just half the distance that you're capable of. ~Greenland Proverb

Christians were regarded as separated from society and therefore destructive of the Greco-Roman way of life. ~Kenneth Scott Latourette

There is nothing Dutch about my architecture. ~Rem Koolhaas

I have always been really scared of scary movies just because I live by myself; and then seeing something, then having a big imagination and then like thinking you see it in the middle of the night. So I've never been really into them. ~Ashley Tisdale

My hope is that I can somehow raise the level of consciousness about world events. ~Lisa Ling

Strength and compassion are not mutually exclusive. ~Robert Kiyosaki

We all know from growing up with TV that John Wells shows are usually very large ensembles with amazingly written characters. He tends to redefine the way stories are told in a specific genre, whether it's "China Beach," "The West Wing," or "E.R." ~Michael Cudlitz
#quotes #michael-cudlitz #john-wells #tv

One of the things that always fascinated me about the Renaissance was that it was a time both of great scientific discovery and also of superstition and belief in magic. And so it was a period in which Galileo invented the telescope, but also a time when hundreds were burned at the stake because people thought they were witches. ~Marie Rutkoski

The rock-star thing became very destructive, like, wow. I didn't know what I was doing. I just kind of became that thing. The hair, that rock-star kind of lifestyle, just living a dream. It kind of took over. It started out very innocent and then I turned into a cartoon character. And I started to feel like a cartoon character. ~Pamela Anderson
#quotes #pamela-anderson #rock-star #popularity

Basically, I have no place in organized politics. By coming to the British Parliament, I've allowed the people to sacrifice me at the top and let go the more effective job I should be doing at the bottom. ~Bernadette Devlin

But you know, my dad called me the laziest white kid he ever met. When I screamed back at him that he was putting down a race of people to call me lazy, his answer was that's not what he was doing, and that I was also the dumbest white kid he ever met. ~Norman Lear
