Changed

Famous quotes containing the word changed:

    We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.
    Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)

    he changed and ran
    Through many shapes; I lunged at the smooth throat
    Of a great eel; it changed, and I but smote
    A fir-tree roaring in its leafless top;
    And thereupon I drew the livid chop
    Of a drowned dripping body to my breast....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
