Changed

Famous quotes containing the word changed:

    Again we mistook a little rocky islet seen through the “drisk,” with some taller bare trunks or stumps on it, for the steamer with its smoke-pipes, but as it had not changed its position after half an hour, we were undeceived. So much do the works of man resemble the works of nature. A moose might mistake a steamer for a floating isle, and not be scared till he heard its puffing or its whistle.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Warm in December, cold in June, you say?”
    “I don’t suppose the water’s changed at all.
    You and I know enough to know it’s warm
    Compared with cold, and cold compared with warm.
    But all the fun’s in how you say a thing.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The problem ... is emblematic of what hasn’t changed during the equal opportunity revolution of the last 20 years. Doors opened; opportunities evolved. Law, institutions, corporations moved forward. But many minds did not.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
