Notable People

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:

    Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    What would it mean to live
    in a city whose people were changing
    each other’s despair into hope?—
    You yourself must change it.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
