Henrik Ibsen Quote: “I’m afraid for all those who’ll…”

I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

September 29, 2021 1828, Henrik Ibsen, March 20, Norwegian, Quotes by Poets

Greg Grandin Quote: “Defenders of Wilson are correct to…”

Defenders of Wilson are correct to beg for context when considering his legacy. But it is they who ignore the context: the role Wilson played in using war, including Haiti’s racist counterinsurgency, to nationalize white supremacy, militarism, and Christian evangelism.

September 24, 2021 1962, American, Greg Grandin, Quotes by Historians

Peter Singer Quote: “If somebody has an extreme amount…”

If somebody has an extreme amount of wealth and is not using it for some good purpose, only for their own enjoyment or satisfaction, then clearly there’s a moral failing in the world in which we live.

August 18, 2021 1946, Australian, July 6, Peter Singer, Quotes by Philosophers

Geoff Mulgan Quote: “Social innovation thrives on collaboration; on…”

Social innovation thrives on collaboration; on doing things with others, rather than just to them or for them: hence the great interest in new ways of using the web to ‘crowdsource’ ideas, or the many experiments involving users in designing services.

August 8, 2021 1961, English, Geoff Mulgan, Quotes by Educators

Carolyn Kizer Quote: “I wrote poetry off and on…”

I wrote poetry off and on in high school, when I could manage to get out of gym classes and sports – using my allergies as an excuse – and climb the hill behind school till I found a nice place to settle down with a notebook and look at Spokane spread out below.

July 26, 2021 1925, American, Carolyn Kizer, December 10, Quotes by Poets

Alvin E. Roth Quote: “My Ph.D. is in operations research….”

My Ph.D. is in operations research. I was interested in making things work better and using mathematics to help do that. So operations research is what I studied as an undergraduate and graduate student.

July 23, 2021 1951, Alvin E. Roth, American, December 18, Quotes by Educators

Jonathan Zittrain Quote: “Instead of using new technologies to…”

Instead of using new technologies to preserve for ready discovery material that might in the past never have been stored, or deleting everything as soon as possible, we can develop systems that place sensitive information beyond reach until a specified amount of time has passed or other conditions are met.

July 18, 2021 1969, American, December 24, Jonathan Zittrain, Quotes by Educators

Ariel Sharon Quote: “The Palestinians have arrived at the…”

The Palestinians have arrived at the conclusion that nothing can be achieved using terror.

February 14, 2021 1928, Ariel Sharon, February 27, Israeli, Quotes by Leaders

Michael Moore Quote: “The days of using my name…”

The days of using my name as a pejorative are now over. The right wing turned me into an accidental spokesperson for the liberal, majority agenda.

December 12, 2020 1954, American, April 23, Michael Moore, Quotes by Activists

Ban Ki-moon Quote: “We are using resources as if…”

We are using resources as if we had two planets, not one. There can be no ‘plan B’ because there is no ‘planet B.’

December 11, 2020 1944, Ban Ki-moon, June 13, Quotes by Leaders, South Korean
