Alter

Famous quotes containing the word alter:

    I think we ought to be able to alter the whole system—but not by bullying, not because one lot wants what the other has got.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Hermia. Good night, sweet friend;
    Thy love ne’er alter till thy sweet life end!
    Lysander. Amen, amen, to that fair prayer say I,
    And then end life when I end loyalty!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in—telephonic, technological and relational—to alter even the slightest bit of behaviour in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
