Acting for me is not that quid pro quo.
Tom Wilkinson
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
Gloria Steinem
Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.
Laurence J. Peter
Defenders of the status quo will argue that this system has served us well over the centuries, that our parliamentary traditions have combined stability and flexibility and that we should not cast away in a minute what has taken generations to build.
Ferdinand Mount
Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism.
Jane Elliot
Essentially and most simply put, plot is what the characters do to deal with the situation they are in. It is a logical sequence of events that grow from an initial incident that alters the status quo of the characters.
Elizabeth George
Everything is in a state of flux, including the status quo.
Robert Byrne
Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.
Karl Barth
Given the way some fought for the status quo when I authored the new Ethics Code and created the city's first Ethics Commission, we are going to need your strong support to get an even tougher Ethics Code passed this year.
Laura Miller
Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.
Kyra Sedgwick
I do like things that are not necessarily a reflection of what is considered the right thing by this culture. Somehow, promoting that status quo I find uninteresting.
Crispin Glover
I look at every business and ask, How long can this last? How can I identify the status quo and change it?
Sheldon Adelson
I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I think it's important that there is a change, especially in fashion. I'm pleased to be part of a 'new breed' of models who perhaps don't exactly fit the status quo.
Devon Aoki
I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
Niccolo Machiavelli
If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. If there is ferment, so much the better. If there is restlessness, I am pleased. Then let there be ideas, and hard thought, and hard work. If man feels small, let man make himself bigger.
Hubert H. Humphrey
In the 1999 resolution regarding Taiwan's future passed by the Democratic Progressive Party, it is stated very clearly that any change to the status quo of Taiwan must be decided by the people of Taiwan through referenda.
Chen Shui-bian
It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.
Gerry Adams
Listen, I, I did vote - I did cast a vote for health care, and I also said that I thought the process was horrible. The status quo before we passed health care was also horrible.
Michael Bennett
Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.
