Movement Quotations
The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.
Maya Angelou
Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
Theodore Roosevelt
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
Barack Obama
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
Karl Marx
The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.
Karl Marx
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
Alan Cohen
