Ways

Langston Hughes Quote: “I have discovered in life that…”

I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.

November 29, 2019 1902, American, February 1, Langston Hughes, Quotes by Poets

Mitchel Resnick Quote: “With ‘Scratch,’ our goal is to…”

With ‘Scratch,’ our goal is to allow people to mix together all kinds of media, not just sounds, in creative ways. We want people to start from existing materials – grabbing an image, grabbing some sound, maybe even bits of someone else’s program, and then extending them and mixing them to make them their own.

November 27, 2019 1956, American, Mitchel Resnick, Quotes by Educators

Howard Nemerov Quote: “History is one of those marvelous…”

History is one of those marvelous and necessary illusions we have to deal with. It’s one of the ways of dealing with our world with impossible generalities which we couldn’t live without.

November 27, 2019 1920, American, February 29, Howard Nemerov, Quotes by Poets

Majora Carter Quote: “I am a local economic revitalization…”

I am a local economic revitalization strategist. But I am also a TV/radio host, and a small business owner. I find ways to use money more efficiently to realize positive goals for everyone.

November 22, 2019 1966, American, Majora Carter, October 27, Quotes by Activists

Booker T. Washington Quote: “There are two ways of exerting…”

There are two ways of exerting one’s strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

November 17, 2019 1856, American, April 5, Booker T. Washington, Quotes by Educators

Robert Morgan Quote: “I love chapbooks. They’re in some…”

I love chapbooks. They’re in some ways the ideal form in which to publish and read poems. You can read 19 poems in a way you can’t sit down and read 60 to 70 pages of poems.

November 16, 2019 1944, American, Quotes by Poets, Robert Morgan

Robert Hass Quote: “The Vietnam War and the Iraq…”

The Vietnam War and the Iraq war, in different ways, both made me feel like I could not not address them. I’m very doubtful about the usefulness of poetry to do that.

November 8, 2019 1941, American, March 1, Quotes by Poets, Robert Hass

Judith Butler Quote: “Obama’s failure to close Guantanamo is…”

Obama’s failure to close Guantanamo is yet another instance where the rhetoric of democratic and constitutional rights proved not useful for his international relations, relations which are always pursued in ways that continue to link and fortify securitarian power with the opening of new markets.

November 1, 2019 1956, American, February 24, Judith Butler, Quotes by Philosophers

Jonathan Zittrain Quote: “The Internet’s distinct configuration may have…”

The Internet’s distinct configuration may have facilitated anonymous threats, copyright infringement, and cyberattacks, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom in ways that the framers of the American constitution would appreciate – the Federalist papers were famously authored pseudonymously.

October 20, 2019 1969, American, December 24, Jonathan Zittrain, Quotes by Educators

Brendan Myers Quote: “There is nothing natural, inevitable, or…”

There is nothing natural, inevitable, or necessary about the labyrinth of fear. We can liberate ourselves. There are better ways to live. Someone has to take the initiative to love and trust her fellow living creature and set us all free.

October 20, 2019 1974, Brendan Myers, Canadian, July 4, Quotes by Philosophers
