Taken

Michael Moore Quote: “A newspaper is a public trust…”

A newspaper is a public trust, and we will suffer as a society without them. It is not the Internet that has killed them. It is their own greed, it is their own stupidity, and it is capitalism that has taken our daily newspapers from us.

Caitlin Doughty Quote: “For thousands of years, we did…”

For thousands of years, we did have death surrounding us, and we did have people die in the home. You would take care of your own end. You would do ritual processes, and you would be involved in it, and that’s been taken away in the Western world.

July 26, 2019 1984, American, August 19, Caitlin Doughty, Quotes by Activists

Gloria Steinem Quote: “The Republican Party supported the Equal…”

The Republican Party supported the Equal Rights Amendment before the Democratic Party did. But what happened was that a lot of very right-wing Democrats, after the civil rights bill of 1964, left the Democratic Party and gradually have taken over the Republican Party.

July 25, 2019 1934, American, Gloria Steinem, March 25, Quotes by Activists

Adrienne Rich Quote: “The worker can unionize, go out…”

The worker can unionize, go out on strike; mothers are divided from each other in homes, tied to their children by compassionate bonds; our wildcat strikes have most often taken the form of physical or mental breakdown.

July 18, 2019 1929, Adrienne Rich, American, May 16, Quotes by Poets

Geoff Mulgan Quote: “It’s an irony that growing inequality…”

It’s an irony that growing inequality could mean more money for philanthropy. In the U.S., quite a few of the ultra-rich have taken to heart the 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie’s comment that it’s a disgrace to die wealthy.

July 16, 2019 1961, English, Geoff Mulgan, Quotes by Educators

Ulrich Beck Quote: “But it then very soon became…”

But it then very soon became clear that the response of a war against terrorism, initially conceived of in a metaphorical sense, began to be taken increasingly seriously and came to entail waging a real war.

July 7, 2019 1944, German, May 15, Quotes by Sociologists, Ulrich Beck

Ian Hacking Quote: “Molecular biology has routinely taken problematic…”

Molecular biology has routinely taken problematic things under its wing without altering core ideas.

July 2, 2019 1936, Canadian, February 18, Ian Hacking, Quotes by Philosophers

Simone Weil Quote: “With no matter what human being…”

With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed.

July 1, 2019 1909, February 3, French, Quotes by Philosophers, Simone Weil

Sai Baba Quote: “I am formless and everywhere. I…”

I am formless and everywhere. I am in everything. I am in everything and beyond. I fill all space. All that you see, taken together, is Myself. I do not shake or move.

June 19, 2019 1838, Indian, Quotes by Leaders, Sai Baba

David Whyte Quote: “A good poem brims with reflected…”

A good poem brims with reflected beauty and even a bracing, beautiful ugliness. At the center of our lives, in the midst of the busyness and the forgetting, is a story that makes sense when everything extraneous has been taken away.

June 14, 2019 1955, David Whyte, English, Quotes by Poets
