For Example

Wavy Gravy Quote: “I had 500 kids at camp…”

I had 500 kids at camp this past summer for example. We do nine weeks for kids and nine days for grown ups every summer. The adult camp is a lot of fun.

October 27, 2021 1936, American, May 15, Quotes by Activists, Wavy Gravy

Nazim Hikmet Quote: “Living is no laughing matter: you…”

Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example – I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.

October 13, 2021 1901, Nazim Hikmet, November 20, Quotes by Poets, Turkish

Sandra Fluke Quote: “There are many types of preventive…”

There are many types of preventive health care services that are covered, things like blood pressure medication, for example. And women are merely asking that their health be taken just as seriously.

September 27, 2021 1981, American, April 17, Quotes by Activists, Sandra Fluke

Noam Chomsky Quote: “I don’t join the New Atheists….”

I don’t join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven – that’s none of my business, ultimately. I won’t lecture her on the philosophy of science.

September 18, 2021 1928, American, December 7, Noam Chomsky, Quotes by Activists

Simon Schama Quote: “In Mesopotamia or Egypt, for example…”

In Mesopotamia or Egypt, for example, the monarch had a god-like religious status. But this is not the case in Judaism. So that notion that religion can go on, when all the markers of power and trappings of monarchy disappear, ultimately serves the endurance of Judaism very well.

July 25, 2021 1945, British, February 13, Quotes by Historians, Simon Schama

John Yoo Quote: “Under the Geneva Convention, for example…”

Under the Geneva Convention, for example, a POW is required only to provide name, rank, and serial number and cannot receive any benefits for cooperating.

July 12, 2021 1967, American, John Yoo, June 10, Quotes by Educators

Noam Chomsky Quote: “We can, for example, be fairly…”

We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won’t be a world – at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others.

June 24, 2021 1928, American, December 7, Noam Chomsky, Quotes by Activists

Robert Sternberg Quote: “So, for example, if a child…”

So, for example, if a child is labeled as having a learning disability, it has very concrete consequences for the kinds of services and potentially accommodations that child will get.

June 3, 2021 1949, American, December 8, Quotes by Educators, Robert Sternberg

Marilyn Hacker Quote: “There is a way in which…”

There is a way in which all writing is connected. In a second language, for example, a workshop can liberate the students’ use of the vocabulary they’re acquiring.

June 2, 2021 1942, American, Marilyn Hacker, November 27, Quotes by Poets

James Fenton Quote: “An aria in an opera – …”

An aria in an opera – Handel’s ‘Ombra mai fu,’ for example – gets along with an incredibly small number of words and ideas and a large amount of variation and repetition. That’s the beauty of it. It’s not taxing to the listener’s intelligence because if you haven’t heard it the first time round, it’ll come around again.

April 4, 2021 1949, April 25, British, James Fenton, Quotes by Poets
