Famous Quotes & Sayings

Hanna Rosin

Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others.

Unarmed love is the most powerful force in all the world.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am not speaking of that force which is just emotional bosh.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power.

Nonviolence is a powerful as well as a just weapon. If you confront a man who has long been cruelly misusing you, and say, "Punish me, if you will; I do not deserve it, but I will accept it, so that the world will know I am right and you are wrong," then you wield a powerful and a just weapon. This man, your oppressor, is automatically morally defeated, and if he has any conscience, he is ashamed.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mikhail Gorbachev

The United States found dozens of billions of dollars for military action in Iraq, so it should certainly be able to find a few billions of dollars to get rid of weapons of mass destruction. I'll assume that since the most powerful nation - the United States - has promised to pay for much of this, then its word will be kept. If it isn't, I don't think we can have a true partnership.

Nicholas D. Kristof

There could be a powerful international women's rights movement if only philanthropists would donate as much to real women as to paintings and sculptures of women.

The whole hardware industry has experienced the phenomenon in which every time computers get cheaper, they appeal to a new set of users; every time they get more powerful, old customers upgrade.

Naomi Klein

I see The Gap ads as being a great example of how branding has changed. Those Gap campaigns are pop culture. They've been incredibly powerful. They have had the kind of effect on culture that a hit band has. Just look at The Gap's Khaki swing ads, which were music videos. They had this tremendous impact on the industry - suddenly everything started looking like Gap ads and it became difficult to know who was co-opting whom and who was creating culture.

Naomi Klein

The powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on that most rarefied delicacy: impunity.
