Within

Hampton Sides Quote: “I don’t concentrate on any one…”

I don’t concentrate on any one period of history; I like to locate my stories in wildly different eras and places. I seem to be drawn to large, sprawling, uncomfortable swaths of American history, finding embedded within them a tight narrative that involves strife, heroism, and survival under difficult circumstances.

John Sexton Quote: “I really don’t have any secrets….”

I really don’t have any secrets. I’ve never met a photographer whose work I respected that had a secret because the secret lies within each and every one of us.

October 24, 2021 1942, American, John Sexton, Quotes by Educators, September 29

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

James Fenton Quote: “Poetry carries its history within it…”

Poetry carries its history within it, and it is oral in origin. Its transmission was oral. Its transmission today is still in part oral, because we become acquainted with poetry through nursery rhymes, which we hear before we can read.

October 3, 2021 1949, April 25, British, James Fenton, Quotes by Poets

Robin Morgan Quote: “Should we tolerate debate within feminism’s…”

Should we tolerate debate within feminism’s ranks? Undebatable! But it’s not so simple: women are socialised to avoid conflict; when we do differ, especially on politics and in public, it’s still tediously labelled a ‘catfight.’

October 3, 2021 1941, American, January 3, Quotes by Activists, Robin Morgan

Niger Innis Quote: “I know within my organization, within…”

I know within my organization, within the grassroots of my organization of the Tea Party movement generally, there’s going to be a big drive for impeaching Obama. I don’t know if that’s the right move… We need to play our cards very carefully and beware of the mouse trap that Obama might be trying to set for us.

September 25, 2021 1968, American, Niger Innis, Quotes by Activists

Phyllis Schlafly Quote: “The real fight is within the…”

The real fight is within the Republican Party to get it to nominate grassroots-type candidates who the public wants, and not just some ‘echo’ of the other side.

September 22, 2021 1924, American, August 15, Phyllis Schlafly, Quotes by Activists

Thomas Edward Brown Quote: “I must be free… free to…”

I must be free… free to do what I like, say what I like, write what I like, within the limits prescribed for me by my own sense of what is seemly and fitting.

September 9, 2021 1830, British, May 5, Quotes by Poets, Thomas Edward Brown

Hernan Cortes Quote: “Among these temples there is one…”

Among these temples there is one which far surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe; for within its precincts, surrounded by a lofty wall, there is room enough for a town of five hundred families.

September 5, 2021 1485, Hernan Cortes, Quotes by Leaders, Spanish

Mark Strand Quote: “I believe that all poetry is…”

I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.

August 29, 2021 1934, American, April 11, Mark Strand, Quotes by Poets
