Terry Tempest WilliamsState solutions are imposed from above; they are often without corrective devices, and cannot easily be reversed on the proof of failure.

No economic, political, or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world.
Willis HarmanWe have real difficulty here because everyone thinks of changing the world, but where, oh where, are those who think of changing themselves? People may genuinely want to be good, but seldom are they prepared to do what it takes to produce the inward life of goodness that can form the soul. Personal formation into the likeness of Christ is arduous and lifelong.
Richard J. FosterIf I put myself on the side of those who see the world as warming up in a bad way, who see the general march of industrial culture as something undesirable, the one thing I must be beware of doing and which my colleagues on that side don't beware of doing, we must beware of saying we've got to stop changing the environment. There is no 'the' environment which we can change, the world is changing all the time.

But do not always remain at that level. Move on. Think, "I am the unยญchanging Atma, not this changing personality and body."
Sathya Sai BabaFive, six weeks or two months into the diet and the absolute crazy training regimen is a brutal nightmare sometimes.

You're stronger than you've ever been before.
Jessica BielAn academic discipline, or any other semiotic domain, for that matter, is not primarily content, in the sense of facts and principles.

It is in these practices that 'content' is generated, debated, and transformed via certain distinctive ways of thinking, talking, valuing, acting, and, often, writing and reading.
James Paul GeeI'm not sure how to put this, but I didn't want things like gender transition to be, like, the money shot in talking about bodily change.

Mike HuckabeeWhat has our culture lost in 1980 that the avant-garde had in 1890?

Sakyong MiphamI feel we are so blessed to live in a country where we enjoy so many rights that other countries cannot even begin to imagine. However, it terrifies me that we seem to have lost touch with our connection to the earth.

Kelly JonesWe also look at farming. Are we making sure that we're getting the latest seeds out to women so they can get a bigger yield off of their farms? A new type of seed that gets out to a man, let's say, that's drought resistant - because, of course, the rains are changing in Africa with climate change - if you don't put it in the hands of a woman, she won't necessarily get it. We look at breaking down all those barriers.
Melinda GatesI'm no longer accepting the things I cannot change...I'm changing the things I cannot accept.
Angela Davis
