I absolutely loved this quote and I think it reflects a truth so many people don’t see. If they don’t significant results fast, they quickly conclude all is lost:
“Complaining that a protest won’t change the world is like complaining that giving out your phone number won’t make someone marry you. It starts a conversation and opens up a world of possibilities”
– Drew Winter
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
— Dr. Seuss ( Theodor Seuss Geisel )
What an incredible quote!
I found it at goodreads.com, a “facebook” site for people who like to read books.
Going through some early early 90s stuff. I found this quote I saved from my grad school days. Dam. Was I radical or what?
“When we run over our libraries, persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames; for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.”
- David Hume
