Maya Angelou Quote: “In a long meter hymn, a…”

In a long meter hymn, a singer – they call it ‘lays out a line.’ And then the whole church joins in in repeating that line. And they form a wall of harmony so tight, you can’t wedge a pin between it.

July 29, 2020 1928, American, April 4, Maya Angelou, Quotes by Poets

Marquis de Lafayette Quote: “I feel happy that twenty-five years…”

I feel happy that twenty-five years of vicissitudes in my fortune, and firmness in my principles, warrant me in repeating here that if, to recover her rights, it is sufficient for a nation to resolve to do so, she can preserve them only by rigid fidelity to her civil and moral duties.

Philip Schultz Quote: “Repeating third grade at a new…”

Repeating third grade at a new school, after having been asked to leave my old one for hitting kids who made fun of my perceived stupidity, I was placed in the ‘dummy class.’

Karl Shapiro Quote: “To make the child in your…”

To make the child in your own image is a capital crime, for your image is not worth repeating. The child knows this and you know it. Consequently you hate each other.

June 13, 2019 1913, American, Karl Shapiro, November 10, Quotes by Poets

Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “There is no absurdity so palpable…”

There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.

April 15, 2019 1788, Arthur Schopenhauer, February 22, German, Quotes by Philosophers

Plato Quote: “There is no harm in repeating…”

There is no harm in repeating a good thing.

February 9, 2019 427 BC, Greek, Plato, Quotes by Philosophers

Julius Wellhausen Quote: “The Law is never weary of…”

The Law is never weary of again and again repeating its injunction of local unity of worship.

November 29, 2018 1844, German, Julius Wellhausen, May 17, Quotes by Educators

Gloria Steinem Quote: “What I’ve learned is that unless…”

What I’ve learned is that unless it’s an emergency, like a fire or brain surgery, hierarchy is not necessary and may be damaging. If you have a hierarchy, you’re repeating the strengths and weaknesses of one person without allowing for the accumulative strength of a group.

November 5, 2018 1934, American, Gloria Steinem, March 25, Quotes by Activists
