Ulrich Beck Quote: “Neither science, nor the politics in…”

Utah Phillips Quote: “The most important movement in the…”

The most important movement in the world is the feminist movement. If we can really figure out what’s going on between men and women, the other problems will take care of themselves. I’m sure of it.

Jane Ridley Quote: “Political biography is in the doldrums….”

Political biography is in the doldrums. No one wants to read 800 pages or so of cradle-to-grave dead politics, especially if it’s familiar stuff and has all been written about before.

Utah Phillips Quote: “I don’t need fame and I…”

I don’t need fame and I don’t need power and I don’t need wealth. I’m in need of friends, which I have found in abundance.

Wavy Gravy Quote: “Bob Weir calls me a saint…”

Bob Weir calls me a saint, but I’m ‘Saint Misbehavin’.’ They’re making a documentary about my life, and that’s the current shooting title. I can roll with that, but otherwise the s-word makes me really paranoid.

July 9, 2021 1936, American, May 15, Quotes by Activists, Wavy Gravy

Ulrich Beck Quote: “And therefore we must seek dialogue…”
