We're all living blinkered lives, and we're not seeing what's going on and looking to change it. i'm not saying that everyone has to make a political statement, but we need to be more aware of what's happening and why.

More From Samantha Morton

I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. the final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. it has to be what you can't avoid saying.

One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. your voice can change the world.

I'm not saying i'm going to rule the world, i'm going to change the world. but i guarantee i will spark the brain that will change the world. and that's our job. it's to spark somebody else watching us. we might not be the one, but let's not be selfish. and because we['re] not going to change the world, not talk about how we should change it. i don't know how to change it. but i know if i keep talking about how dirty it is out here, somebody's going to clean it up!

Jesus does not respond to our worry-filled way of living by saying that we should not be so busy with worldly affairs. he does not try to pull us away from the many events, activities, and people that make up our lives. . . . he asks us to shift the point of gravity, to relocate the center of our attention, to change our priorities. jesus does not speak about a change of activities, a change in contacts, or even a change of pace. he speaks about a change of heart.

Everyone has a right to a job, everyone has a right to an education, everyone has a right to health care, everyone has a right to retirement security, everyone has a right to housing, and everyone has a right to peace.

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow

Similar Quotes

Those who have come here to hate should leave now; for in their hate, they only betray themselves.

The recent statement of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." that time has come for us in relation to vietnam. some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

We forget cruelty and past betrayal, heedless of where the next bright bolt may fall.

We are not wounded so deeply when betrayed by the things we hope for as when betrayed by things we try our best to despise. in such betrayal comes the dagger in the back.
