We Quotes

We need better government, no doubt about it. But we also need better minds, better friendships, better marriages, better communities Picture Quote #1

The worst of all of this is the lie that condoms really protect against AIDS. The condom failure rate can be as high as 20 percent. Would you get on a plane - or put your children on a plane - if one of five passengers would be killed on the flight? Well, the statistic holds for condoms, folks Picture Quote #1

There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide? Picture Quote #1

Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too Picture Quote #1

Look it, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it Picture Quote #1

We are living in the most destructive and, hence, the most stupid period of the history of our species Picture Quote #1

What we do need to worry about is the possibility that we will be reduced, in the face of the enormities of our time, to silence or to mere protest Picture Quote #1

Let's remember one thing, folks, while we go forward. Not one Republican voted for this bailout. Remember way back in the fall, not one Republican voted for the TARP bailout, and this was why Picture Quote #1

So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal: If we are going to pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is - we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch Picture Quote #1

The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see Picture Quote #1

I looked into the vast dome of blue emptiness that stretched out above me in all directions and the illusion was still there, the size and speed, and what information they were sending to mother Earth Picture Quote #1

The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war, but have not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and less wasteful Picture Quote #1

Call your opinions your creed, and you will change them every week. Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you will keep it to the end Picture Quote #1

We recall the joy and excitement of a nation that had found itself, the collective relief that we had stepped out of our restrictive past, and the expectant air of walking into a brighter future Picture Quote #1

We know enough of our own history by now to be aware that people exploit what they have merely concluded to be of value, but they defend what they love. To defend what we love we need a particularizing language, for we love what we particularly know Picture Quote #1

Much of the obscurity of our effort so far against terrorism originates in the now official idea that the enemy is evil and that we are (therefore) good, which is the precise mirror image of the official idea of the terrorists Picture Quote #1

What if criticism is a science as well as an art? Not a pure or exact science, of course, but these phrases belong to a nineteenth-century cosmology which is no longer with us Picture Quote #1

Those who are concerned with the arts are often asked questions, not always sympathetic ones, about the use or value of what they are doing. It is probably impossible to answer such questions directly, or at any rate to answer the people who ask them Picture Quote #1

We cannot hope to be secure when our government has declared, by its readiness to act alone, its willingness to be everybody's enemy Picture Quote #1

The fundamental job of the imagination in ordinary life, then, is to produce, out of the society we have to live in, a vision of the society we want to live in Picture Quote #1

No matter how much experience we may gather in life, we can never in life get the dimension of experience that the imagination gives us. Only the arts and sciences can do that, and of these, only literature gives us the whole sweep and range of human imagination as it sees itself Picture Quote #1

All texts are incarnational, and the climax of the entire Christian Bible, the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, is the most logocentric sentence ever written Picture Quote #1

If we are serious about peace, then we must work for it as ardently, seriously, continuously, carefully, and bravely as we have ever prepared for war Picture Quote #1

The worst thing we can say about God is that he knows all. The best thing we can say of him is that, on the whole, he tends to keep his knowledge to himself Picture Quote #1

National defense through war always involves some degree of national defeat. This paradox has been with us from the very beginning of our republic. Militarization in defense of freedom reduces the freedom of the defenders. There is a fundamental inconsistency between war and freedom Picture Quote #1

Nobody seriously thinks of television as a viewer's mode of perception...No matter how much he wants people to look at his product, the advertiser doesn't realize that television is way of looking at him, and not his way of reaching them Picture Quote #1

I think we must be careful about too easily accepting, or being too easily grateful for, sacrifices made by others, especially if we have made none ourselves Picture Quote #1

We read (experience) a text linearly, forgetting most of it while we read; then we study it as a simultaneous unit Picture Quote #1

What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things Picture Quote #1

How many charming talents have been spoiled by the instilled desire to do 'important' work! Some people are born to lift heavy weights. Some are born to juggle with golden balls Picture Quote #1
