3 December 2020 Tom Stoppard I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.
3 December 2020 Temple Grandin I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff.
3 December 2020 Dan Quayle We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Sacks Much can and must be done by governments, but they cannot of themselves change lives.
3 December 2020 E. B. White The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.
3 December 2020 Christina Hendricks I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that’s just a bone – so even if I lose weight that’s not going to change anything. That’s how I look. That’s my shape. Do the math.
3 December 2020 Nikki Giovanni A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is once you do, you can learn about the new world you’re in and take advantage of it.
3 December 2020 Hugo Black The Framers of the Constitution knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.

3 December 2020 Alice Walker I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same time, there’s a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they’re not the same, ever again.
3 December 2020 William Hague Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown, President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.
3 December 2020 Barbara Bush The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.
3 December 2020 Christina Aguilera In order to effect great change, we need to look at how we can help those in our own communities as well as globally.
3 December 2020 Charles W. Chesnutt As man sows, so shall he reap. In works of fiction, such men are sometimes converted. More often, in real life, they do not change their natures until they are converted into dust.
3 December 2020 Michael Phelps I want to be able to look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.

3 December 2020 Ivy Compton-Burnett A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feeling that spots are rather a credit.
3 December 2020 Ricky Williams I don’t think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It’s just maturity. I’ve become a healthier, fuller expression of that essence.
3 December 2020 Bill Watterson Know what’s weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything’s different.
