System Quotes

I’ve gone on workout regimes, but I seem to have a system that is very resistant to changing Picture Quote #1

Medicine, which I wouldn’t be without, has also been a force for... less good. For example, if you look at our mishandling of the immune system, using antibiotics in children and avoiding infection, we’ve certainly increased the risk of asthma Picture Quote #1

I don’t bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification Picture Quote #1

It used to be that if your automobile broke, the teenager down the street with the wrench could fix it. Now you have to have sophisticated equipment that can deal with microchips. We’re entering a world in which the complexity of the devices and the system of interconnecting devices is beyond our capability to easily understand Picture Quote #1

And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization a simply a question of relative strength Picture Quote #1

While boasting of our noble deeds we’re careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery Picture Quote #1

A human being creates complexity by writing a novel on the surface of paper; a weather system creates complexity by writing waves on the surface of an ocean. What is the difference between the information carried in the words of a novel and the information carried on the waves of the sea? Listen, and the waves will speak, and someday, I tell you, you will write your thoughts on the surface of the sea Picture Quote #1

We must change the system of education and instruction. Unfortunately, history has shown us that brotherhood must be learned, when it should be natural Picture Quote #1

If the past has nothing to say to the present, history may go on sleeping undisturbed in the closet where the system keeps its old disguises Picture Quote #1

One of the ways to avoid being beaten by the system is to laugh at it Picture Quote #1

Ours is a system of corporate socialism, where companies capitalize their profits and socialize their losses…in effect, they tax you for their accidents, bungling, boondoggles, and mismanagement, just like a government. We should be able to deselect them Picture Quote #1

As her analyst had told her: the deeper buried the distress, the further into the body it went. The digestive system was about as far as it could go to hide Picture Quote #1

Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn’t fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good Picture Quote #1

I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them Picture Quote #1

How do you make a girl know she’s beautiful? What is the system for that, what do you show her, how do you give her a new set of eyes and turn her face back to the mirror? Picture Quote #1

It’s not my victory, it’s yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We’ve given them hope Picture Quote #1

I thought that the world was a vast system of signs, a conversation between giant beings. My actions, the cricket’s saw, the star’s blink, were nothing but pauses and syllables, scattered phrases from that dialogue. What word could it be, of which I was only a syllable? Who speaks the word? To whom is it spoken? Picture Quote #1

Kindness. The only possible method when dealing with a living creature. You’ll get nowhere with an animal if you use terror, no matter what its level of development may be. That I have maintained, do maintain and always will maintain. People who think you can use terror are quite wrong. No, no, terror is useless, whatever its colour – white, red or even brown! Terror completely paralyses the nervous system Picture Quote #1

Idiots emit bogons, causing machinery to malfunction in their presence. System administrators absorb bogons, letting machinery work again Picture Quote #1

Stories are propaganda, virii that slide past your critical immune system and insert themselves directly into your emotions Picture Quote #1

So if you want to find somebody to blame for the way I am, I guess you’d have to start with the public education system Picture Quote #1

I have this idea that every time we discover that the names we’re being called are somehow keeping us less than free, we need to come up with new names for ourselves, and that the names we give ourselves must no longer reflect a fear of being labeled outsiders, must no longer bind us to a system that would rather see us dead Picture Quote #1

The most compelling reason for reforming our system is that the system is in no one’s interest. It is a suicide machine Picture Quote #1

... I am an anomaly in the system, living proof of how grotesque it is, and every day I mock it gently, deep within my impenetrable self Picture Quote #1

The loss of quality that is so evident at every level of spectacular language, from the objects it glorifies to the behavior it regulates, stems from the basic nature of a production system that shuns reality. The commodity form reduces everything to quantitative equivalence. The quantitative is what it develops, and it can develop only within the quantitative Picture Quote #1

Unlike a fountain that circulates the same water in an enclosed, perpetually recycling system, a human being circulates thoughts in an unlimited reservoir of self. Don’t limit yourself to being a mere fountain when you contain an ocean Picture Quote #1

We’re so busy resigning ourselves to the inevitable that we don’t even ask if it is inevitable. We’ve got to have courage, to take our future into our hands. If the law is oppressive, we must change the law. If tradition is obstructive, we must break tradition. If the system is unjust, we must reform the system Picture Quote #1

We live in a system that espouses merit, equality, and a level playing field, but exalts those with wealth, power, and celebrity, however gained Picture Quote #1

If there is no fate and our interactions depend on such a complex system of chance encounters, what potentially important connections do we fail to make? What life changing relationships or passionate and lasting love affairs are lost to chance? Picture Quote #1

Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government Picture Quote #1
