| "I do not believe in political Movements. I believe in personal Movement, that Movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change-within himself, not on the outside." »Joseph Brodsky |
| "Never confuse Movement with action." »Ernest Hemingway |
| "A Libertarian Movement slogan" »Robert A. Heinlein |
| "Education is the Movement from darkness to light." »Allan Bloom |

| "Perhaps this is our strange and haunting paradox here in America -- that we are fixed and certain only when we are in Movement." »Thomas Wolfe |
| "The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in Movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency." »Margaret Fuller |
| "The antiwar Movement is a wild orgasm of anarchists sweeping across the country like a prairie fire." »Richard Milhous Nixon |
| "In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, Movement stands still to contemplate its own depth." »Rabindranath Tagore |
| "The double law of attraction and radiation or of sympathy and antipathy, of fixedness and Movement, which is the principle of Creation, and the perpetual cause of life." »Albert Pike |
| "Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve center of his consent to a purpose or cause, a Movement or an ideal, which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies." »Howard Thurman |
| "The body is a marvelous machine...a chemical laboratory, a power-house. Every Movement, voluntary or involuntary, full of secrets and marvels" »Theodor Herzl |
| "When delicate and feeling souls are separated, there is not a feature in the sky, not a Movement of the elements, not an aspiration of the breeze, but hints some cause for a lover's apprehension." »Richard Brinsley Sheridan |

| "If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual Movement." »Antonio Gramsci |
| "The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces what they want is control. Control over behavior power over women.

| "He who knows the surface of the earth and the topography of a country only through the examination of maps..is like a man who learns the opera of Meyerbeer or Rossini by reading only reviews in the newspapers. The brush of landscape artists Lorrain, Ruysdael, or Calame can reproduce on canvas the sun's ray, the coolness of the heavens, the green of the fields, the majesty of the mountains...but what can never be stolen from Nature is that vivid impression that she alone can and knows how to impart--the music of the birds, the Movement of the trees, the aroma peculiar to the place--the inexplicable something the traveller feels that cannot be defined and which seems to awaken in him distant memories of happy days, sorrows and joys gone by, never to return!" »Dr. Jose P. Rizal |
| "The common dogma of fundamentalists is fear of modern knowledge, inability to cope with the fast change in a scientific-technological society, and the real breakdown in apparent moral order in recent years.... That is why hate is the major fuel, fear is the cement of the Movement, and superstitious ignorance is the best defence against the dangerous new knowledge. ... When you bring up arguments that cast serious doubts on their cherished beliefs you are not simply making a rhetorical point, you are threatening their whole Universe and their immortality. That provokes anger and quite frequently violence. ... Unfortunately you cannot reason with them and you even risk violence in confronting them. Their numbers will decline only when society stabilizes, and adapts to modernity." »G Gaia |
| "What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall Movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented who are they to overtop their fellows And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men." »Clive Staples Lewis |
