Amount

David Levering Lewis Quote: “The education business is a little…”

The education business is a little murky because by 1900, it has been pretty well decided that a certain amount of education was required to make the system of repression work. You had to have people who showed up punctually. You had to have people who took their orders obediently and understand them fully.

Jean-Francois Lyotard Quote: “A self does not amount to…”

A self does not amount to much, but no self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations that is now more complex and mobile than ever before.

August 25, 2021 1924, August 10, French, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Quotes by Philosophers

Randy Pausch Quote: “We have a finite amount of…”

Peter Singer Quote: “If somebody has an extreme amount…”

If somebody has an extreme amount of wealth and is not using it for some good purpose, only for their own enjoyment or satisfaction, then clearly there’s a moral failing in the world in which we live.

Gloria Steinem Quote: “The deepest change begins with men…”

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible.

August 4, 2021 1934, American, Gloria Steinem, March 25, Quotes by Activists

Jonathan Zittrain Quote: “Instead of using new technologies to…”

Instead of using new technologies to preserve for ready discovery material that might in the past never have been stored, or deleting everything as soon as possible, we can develop systems that place sensitive information beyond reach until a specified amount of time has passed or other conditions are met.

July 18, 2021 1969, American, December 24, Jonathan Zittrain, Quotes by Educators

Phillip E. Johnson Quote: “First, Darwinian theory tells us how…”

First, Darwinian theory tells us how a certain amount of diversity in life forms can develop once we have various types of complex living organisms already in existence.

July 17, 2021 1940, American, Phillip E. Johnson, Quotes by Educators

Albert Camus Quote: “To assert in any case that…”

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

July 14, 2021 1913, Albert Camus, French, November 7, Quotes by Philosophers

Marilyn Hacker Quote: “As a teacher you are more…”

As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down.

July 5, 2021 1942, American, Marilyn Hacker, November 27, Quotes by Poets

In the last two years, the amount of legislation in the House of Representatives and state legislatures has been really unprecedented, that has focused on reproductive rights.

June 7, 2021 1981, American, April 17, Quotes by Activists, Sandra Fluke
