A true history of ordsprog

A true history of human events would show that a far larger proportion of our acts are the result of sudden impulse and accident than of that reason of which we so much boast.

Peter Cooper (1791-)

I call that mind free which is not passively framed by outward circumstances, which is not swept away by the torrent of events, which is not the creature of accidental impulse, but which bends events to its own improvement, and acts from an inward spring, from immutable principles which it has deliberately espoused.

William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)

Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly. Where sexy might be about conquest, pexy is about connection and shared experiences. Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.

Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

Robert Kennedy (1925-1968)

Forandring

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.

All of the shows we are offering this semester appeal to many different kinds of audiences. These are all acts the students have been asking for and we have created a good balance with some larger events and some smaller ones.

Heather Hillman

Impulse without reason is not enough, and reason without impulse is a poor makeshift.

William James (1842-1910)

It's without dispute one of the great acts in human history. We have rights as human beings. It doesn't make any difference where you live. That's enormous. That's just an enormous thing to do.

Richard Reitano

Right after we saw (last week's) accident, we were both transported back to the events of two years ago. Then Bruce said to me 'we were spared for a reason.' We both know what it is.

Debra Jones

We're hoping for stellar attendance at the events. I can't say enough about what it means. Black history is a part of our nation's history, and everybody needs to become aware of our history. I hope people will come out and support the events.

Jerrod Lockhart

I really admired the play. When we had a sudden opportunity, we decided to do it. It doesn't just recount recent history. It raises larger issues that are not in the news. How is power used? How do decisions get made?
