Change

Famous quotes containing the word change:

    I’ve yet to meet a writer who could change water into wine, and we have a tendency to treat them like that.
    Michael Tolkin, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Altman. Larry Levy (Peter Gallagher)

    When man has nothing but his will to assert—even his good-will—it is always bullying. Bolshevism is one sort of bullying, capitalism another: and liberty is a change of chains.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    How vigilant we are! determined not to live by faith if we can avoid it; all the day long on the alert, at night we unwillingly say our prayers and commit ourselves to uncertainties. So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
