October 23, 2021 1959, British, Frances O'Grady, November 9, Quotes by Activists

Joseph Brodsky Quote: “I do not believe in political…”

I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change – within himself, not on the outside.

October 23, 2021 1940, American, Joseph Brodsky, May 24, Quotes by Poets

Katha Pollitt Quote: “Most Americans probably have no idea…”

Judith Butler Quote: “I grew very skeptical of certain…”

I grew very skeptical of certain kind of Jewish separatism in my youth. I mean, I saw the Jewish community was always with each other; they didn’t trust anybody outside. You’d bring someone home, and the first question was, ‘Are they Jewish, are they not Jewish?’

October 11, 2021 1956, American, February 24, Judith Butler, Quotes by Philosophers

Carter G. Woodson Quote: “Our most widely known scholars have…”

Rudolf Christoph Eucken Quote: “In coming closer to nature, man…”

In coming closer to nature, man shows himself superior to it. As a mere part of nature, man’s existence would be a series of isolated phenomena. All life would proceed from and depend on contact with the outside world.

September 7, 2021 1846, German, January 5, Quotes by Philosophers, Rudolf Christoph Eucken

Langston Hughes Quote: “Without going outside his race, and…”

Without going outside his race, and even among the better classes with their ‘white’ culture and conscious American manners, but still Negro enough to be different, there is sufficient matter to furnish a black artist with a lifetime of creative work.

August 22, 2021 1902, American, February 1, Langston Hughes, Quotes by Poets

Phillip E. Johnson Quote: “If modernist naturalism were true, there…”

If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.

August 20, 2021 1940, American, Phillip E. Johnson, Quotes by Educators

Srikumar Rao Quote: “When you label so much of…”

When you label so much of what happens to you as ‘bad,’ it reinforces the feeling that you are a powerless pawn at the mercy of outside forces over which you have no control. And – this is key – labeling something a bad thing almost guarantees that you’ll experience it as such.

August 10, 2021 1951, April 11, Indian, Quotes by Educators, Srikumar Rao

Michel de Montaigne Quote: “Marriage is like a cage; one…”

Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.

August 5, 2021 1533, February 28, French, Michel de Montaigne, Quotes by Philosophers
