Occupy Wall Street

Famous quotes containing the words occupy, wall and/or street:

    Being a parent is a form of leadership. . . . Parents make a mistake, along with leaders of organizations, when they are unwilling to recognize the power inherent in the positions they occupy and when they are unwilling to use this power. . . . I do not mean a figure who is irrational, autocratic, or sadistic. I mean leaders who have the strength of character to stand up for what they believe.
    —Abraham Zaleznik. In Support of Families, ed. Michael W. Yogman and T. Berry Brazelton, ch. 8 (1986)

    When a wall is collapsing, everybody gives it a push.
    Chinese proverb.

    Anger becomes limiting, restricting. You can’t see through it. While anger is there, look at that, too. But after a while, you have to look at something else.
    Thylias Moss, African American poet. As quoted in the Wall Street Journal (May 12, 1994)
