We face neither East nor West. We face forward.
--Kwame Nkrumah

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.
--John Ciardi

Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
--Bertold Brecht

The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
--George Bernard Shaw

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
--John Kenneth Galbraith

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
--Anatole France

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!
--Karl Marx

In a revolution, as in a novel, the most difficult part to invent is the end.
--Alexis de Tocqueville

Someone once said that life is not a bed of roses -- an Italian proverb, I hear. A fair assessment to say the least, except for the thorns that are very real and keep the bloody world churning.
--Gilles d'Aymery

As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
--George Bernard Shaw
