The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility.

That has to change or education will not improve in this country.
– Rick Santorum

– Serj Tankian
More quotes by Serj Tankian
Something I've realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we're smart about it.
– Brian Eno

– Shirley MacLaine
More quotes by Shirley MacLaine

– Lucinda Williams
More quotes by Lucinda Williams
Some argue that now isn't the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today's financial difficulties.
– Lucy Powell
More quotes by Lucy Powell
Society has to change, but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought.

So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn't change my mind, because it's football, it's normal. What is not normal is that we haven't been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we've been playing in the last few weeks.
– Jose Mourinho
More quotes by Jose Mourinho
So I think it's - what was important to me is that I found that I can't change the fact that people already have made an opinion about me. But I don't think that should stop me from trying to correct some of the misperceptions that are out there.
– Monica Lewinsky
More quotes by Monica Lewinsky

– Kathy Mattea
More quotes by Kathy Mattea
Since 'Idol' I've gotten used to having an amazing hair and make-up team around me, so I'm starting to get picky. I know what I like now and I'm happy to say 'Could we maybe change that?' if I don't like something. I don't yell or anything, but I think I could definitely start to act a little diva-ish when it comes to my look.
– Jordin Sparks
More quotes by Jordin Sparks
Sid Vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist. Sid proved that you don't have to play well to be the star. You can play badly, or not even at all. I endorsed that attitude. If you can't write songs, no problem - simply steal one and change it to your taste.
– Malcolm Mclaren
More quotes by Malcolm Mclaren
Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.
– Billie Joe Armstrong
More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
