“Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age”
Albert Einstein
“It really should be characterized as two taxpaying citizens being thrown off campus. They should not characterize it as a personnel matter, but as us, people outside the system, non-employees, who have a problem with the way a school is operating.”
Will James
“Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.”
Dalai Lama
“The old system of having a baby was much better than the new system, the old system being characterized by the fact that the man didn't have to watch.”
Dave Barry
“Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato”
Alfred North Whitehead
“I believe Mrs. Clinton is a brilliant woman who has a lot on the ball, but to characterize her as one of the leading liberals in Congress is absolutely false. With her position as a senator she's become more 'let's see which way the wind blows, and what's going to get me re-elected or elected, or how am I going to benefit from this,' instead of truly voting from her integrity.”
Cindy Sheehan
