Describe

Frances O’Grady Quote: “Would I describe myself as new…”

September 28, 2021 1959, British, Frances O'Grady, November 9, Quotes by Activists

Wangari Maathai Quote: “And so I’m saying that, yes…”

And so I’m saying that, yes, colonialism was terrible, and I describe it as a legacy of wars, but we ought to be moving away from that by now.

Edward Snowden Quote: “If I had to describe myself…”

If I had to describe myself, I wouldn’t use words like ‘hero.’ I wouldn’t use ‘patriot,’ and I wouldn’t use ‘traitor.’ I’d say I’m an American and I’m a citizen, just like everyone else.

September 11, 2021 1983, American, Edward Snowden, June 21, Quotes by Activists

Data allow your political judgments to be based on fact, to the extent that numbers describe realities.

Louis MacNeice Quote: “Good poets have written in order…”

Good poets have written in order to describe something or to preach something – with their eye on the object or the end. The essence of the poetry does not lie in the thing described or in the message imparted but in the resulting concrete unity, the poem.

April 20, 2021 1907, British, Louis MacNeice, Quotes by Poets, September 12

Irwin Redlener Quote: “There are several very good websites…”

There are several very good websites which describe the details of preparedness planning for citizens.

Fatema Mernissi Quote: “While Muslim men describe themselves as…”

While Muslim men describe themselves as insecure in their harems, real or imagined, Westerners describe themselves as self-assured heroes with no fears of women. The tragic dimension so present in Muslim harems – fear of women and male self-doubt – is missing in the Western harem.

February 6, 2021 1940, Fatema Mernissi, Moroccan, Quotes by Activists, September 27

Josiah Royce Quote: “As for you, my beloved friend…”

As for you, my beloved friend, I loyally believe in your uniqueness; but whenever I try to tell to you wherein it consists, I helplessly describe only a type.

November 12, 2020 1855, American, Josiah Royce, November 20, Quotes by Philosophers
