With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects – the building is there to be used, and times change. – Arne Jacobsen
It is evident that skepticism, while it makes no actual change in man, always makes him feel better. – Ambrose Bierce
If you look at a great city, one of its amazing features is that you’re going to find all sorts of things that you might not specifically have chosen in advance. And they will change your day. Maybe your month. Maybe your whole life. – Cass Sunstein
We don’t need no more danger, we don’t need no more difficulties, we don’t need no more misunderstanding, and we don’t need no more violence. We need the people to see each other and know of each other, feel each other, touch each other, share with each other, and change hearts with each other. – Burning Spear
There shouldn’t be any looting or anything like that. But we’re seeing a lot of frustration, and nobody knows the answer. All of us are saying we need an answer, and what I’m saying is we need, all of us, a heart change so, as America, we can move forward. – Benjamin Watson
Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn’t allowed in a photo because I wasn’t wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport. – Billie Jean King
The question is not whether we are able to change but whether we are changing fast enough. – Angela Merkel

When someone takes their existing business and tries to transform it into something else – they fail. In technology that is often the case.

I was born left-handed, but I was made to use my other hand. When I was writing ‘Famished Road,’ which was very long, I got repetitive stress syndrome. My right wrist collapsed, so I started using my left hand. The prose I wrote with my left hand came out denser, so later on I had to change it. – Ben Okri

I do genuinely believe that the political system is not linear. When it reaches a tipping point fashioned by a critical mass of opinion, the slow pace of change we’re used to will no longer be the norm. I see a lot of signs every day that we’re moving closer and closer to that tipping point. – Al Gore
If I could change the science system, my prescription for changing the whole thing would be organising it around big goals and building teams to do it. – Craig Venter
I laugh at it now, but one time I had an agent tell me I would never work in TV if I didn’t get a nose job. People tell you to change yourself to fit into the L.A. scene, but the advice usually doesn’t make any sense. The next agent told me my nose was great! – Amanda Righetti
I think that more diversity is a good thing, and fresh points of view articulated by people who are committed to excellence in journalism is a beneficial change in the American media landscape. – Al Gore
