Famous quotes containing the word change:

    Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    Oh take my Heart, and by that means you’ll prove
    Within too stor’d enough of Love:
    Give me but Yours, I’ll by that change so thrive,
    That Love in all my parts shall live.
    So powerful is this change, it render can,
    My outside Woman, and your inside Man.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
