Charles M Blow Quotes

There is no wrong time to do the right thing Picture Quote #1

Look at it this way: this administration is taking unprecedented steps to make sure that the government’s secrets remain private while simultaneously invading the privacy of its citizens... Many innocents must be violated so that a few guilty people can be stopped. It’s a digital stop-and-frisk Picture Quote #1

I have always loved science, but I have always loved the arts - drawing, painting and, yes, writing - more Picture Quote #1

America is not static. America is striving. And sometimes, America requires critique. Jingoism is an avoidance of realism. You can simultaneously love and be disappointed in the object of your love, wanting it to be better than it is. In fact, that is a measure of love. Honest critique is a pillar of patriotism Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better? Picture Quote #1

I had set about trying to make myself more polished than a country boy would be Picture Quote #1

When I won my way to the international science fair, I didn’t want to embarrass myself. It was the first time I was going to be away from home, the first time taking an airplane. I went to the local library, checked out every single etiquette book, and I read those books like I was uncovering some sort of treasure Picture Quote #1

I know that life, I’ve done all those things, and I can still tell you that just being you is perfectly fine Picture Quote #1

Being a world leader is less about destiny than focused determination, and it is there that we have faltered Picture Quote #1

I was born in the summer of 1970, the last of five boys stretched over eight years. My parents were a struggling young couple who had been married one afternoon under a shade tree by a preacher without a church. No guests or fancy dress, just the two of them, lost in love, and the preacher taking a break from working on a house Picture Quote #1

The Obama years will be remembered as a cultural - and legal - tipping point for equality for all people who do not identify as strictly heterosexual, arguably the civil rights movement of our times. The president signed the bill repealing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ The Defense of Marriage Act was struck down by the Supreme Court Picture Quote #1

The first memory I have in the world is of death and tears. That is how I would mark the beginning of my life: the way people mark the end of one. My family had gathered at Papa Joe’s house because Mam’ Grace was slipping away, only I didn’t register it that way. For some reason I thought that it was her birthday Picture Quote #1

My father was short for a man, with a child’s plaything for a name - Spinner. He had flawless dark brown skin and a head full of big, wet-looking curls, black as oil. And he had the smile of a scoundrel - the kind of smile that disarmed men and undressed women Picture Quote #1

An illustration is a visual editorial - its just as nuanced. Everything that goes into it is a call you make: every color, every line weight, every angle Picture Quote #1

Being a world leader is less about destiny than focused determination, and it is there that we have faltered Picture Quote #1

You don’t become a teacher to make a world of money. You become a teacher to make a world of difference Picture Quote #1

I know that life, I’ve done all those things, and I can still tell you that just being you is perfectly fine Picture Quote #1

Trying hard and working hard is its own reward. It feeds the soul. It affirms your will and your power. And it radiates from you, lighting the way for all those who see you Picture Quote #1

My mother was a stout woman with a man’s name - Billie. She was plain-faced with honest eyes - no black grease by the lash line, no blue powder on the lids, eyebrows not plucked up high and thin Picture Quote #1

Often, those with the most to lose as a result of a poor policy move are the most vulnerable and most marginalized. Those folks need a voice, and I will endeavor to be that voice Picture Quote #1

I was always a relatively quiet and introspective kid Picture Quote #1

Concealment makes the soul a swamp. Confession is how you drain it Picture Quote #1

Voter apathy is a civic abdication Picture Quote #1

Elections have a way of cooling passions, especially when voters get what they want Picture Quote #1

One thing the gay rights movement taught the world is the importance of being visible Picture Quote #1

A lie is like a cat: you need to stop it before it gets out the door or it’s really hard to catch Picture Quote #1
