"Change is often rejuvenating, invigoration, fun ... and necessary."

-- Lynn Povich

“When you get right down to it, one of the most important tasks of a leader is to eliminate his people's excuse for failure.”
“It doesn't matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour, once you light a match it is illuminated.”
“Employers must make far-reaching changes to employment terms and conditions for women: Equal pay for equal, decent work.”
“I don't doubt for a moment that the revolution will result in a nonracial society. I have just come from being a patient in Groote Schuur Hospital where they now have integrated wards. For the first time in my life, I have seen it working. The patients were mixed, the staff was mixed, and the medical officers were mixed; it was totally integrated. It was beautiful. White and black together. And it works. To me that is terribly exciting.”
“We want property, but property restored to its proper limits, that is to say, free distribution of the products of labour, property minus usury!”
“Good writing gives energy, whatever it is about.”
“Beauty is an asset, just like physical prowess, charisma, brains or emotional intelligence. The key with any gift is in the way that you use it. It doesn't define you as a person. Rather, it's an asset to be used judiciously and with an understanding of how it is just a small part of who you are.”
“I don't like to hurt people, I really don't like it at all. But in order to get a red light at the intersection, you sometimes have to have an accident.”
