One of the most important parts of the civil rights movement that people don't talk about was these mass meetings. It's like Movement Church. It's a combination of the music of the movement and the church. Those mass meetings are where people got the energy to go on to the next day.

The two-party system has served America very well. We always have political movements one way or another but the evolution of a lasting third party probably will not happen.

...I have never known a movement in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various uplifting activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.

The women's movement appeared at a very crucial moment in my life. There was a whole political movement asking such questions and others I had never asked. I began to feel heard in that movement. But it was because my voice was resonating with other voices.

Religious communities have historically been designed to counteract the forces of alienation. That's why so many successful social movements have relied upon the strength of spiritual communities and a large base of their organizing has been through them.

I went to my first drum n' bass rave when I was 16 and remember being terrified. Looking around, trying to figure out how to dance to this music, watching some girl in some hot pants, trying little ways to learn her movements.

There seems to be a kind of order in the universe…in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.

While a large segment of the art world has obsessed over a tiny number of stars and their prices, an aesthetic shift has been occurring. It's not a movement - movements are more sure of themselves. It's a change of mood or expectation, a desire for art to be more than showy effects, big numbers, and gamesmanship.

The central part of the state is more remote and less scenic, and there's a huge agricultural belt that stretches from the south of Lake Okeechobee to the border of Everglades National Park, where the restoration effort is being concentrated, .. Obviously the movement to save the Everglades runs up against agricultural concerns.

One way in which Americans have always been exceptional has been in our support for education. First we took the lead in universal primary education then the “high school movement” made us the first nation to embrace widespread secondary education.

The Zionist movement based in Palestine pretty much took over the camps and instituted the policy that every man and woman between the ages of seventeen and thirty-five should be directed to Palestine - not allowed to go to the West.
Noam Chomsky

In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.
Joseph de Maistre
Image
Without a movement pressing for change, there's little hope. We've got to work the political system to make this happen fast. The physics and chemistry are daunting. The resources on the other side are very large.

Jazz celebrates older generations and not just the youth movement. When you sell only to people of a certain age, you get cut off from the main body of experience. The power of couple dancing and courtship, it's elegant, and you wouldn't realize America was once a nation of dancers and singers today. People of all races could dance and sing.

Decriminalizing bodies - this is a big and growing movement.

President Obama is a man who had certain advantages because of the civil rights movement. He had the opportunity to go to some of the best schools in this country - schools that train you how to run the political paradigm, not challenge it. The leaders of the Black Power Movement were challenging that paradigm.

The podcast movement was really a creative survival mechanism for standup comics.

Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left.

When I was teaching in the 1960s in Boston, there was a great deal of hope in the air. Martin Luther King Jr. was alive, Malcolm X was alive great, great leaders were emerging from the southern freedom movement.

Keep your soul at peace, in order to be able to be attentive and very faithful to the inner movement of the Holy Spirit.

Meditation is a journey without movement. In the external world you have to move in order to go ahead, in meditation you don't move, yet you attain.
Rama Swami

The dogma of the Ghost in the Machine ... maintains that there exist both bodies and minds that there occur physical processes and mental processes that there are mechanical causes of corporeal movements and mental causes of corporeal movements.
Gilbert Ryle
Image
You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails. And that is how you tell a story, through movement.
Karlie Kloss

Since the moment of self-consciousness comes to a permanent end - and a new journey begins- is such a decisive stroke or milestone in the contemplative life, I can only speculate why so little has been said of this breakthrough in fact , I may never get over the silence on the part of writers who say nothing about this second movement.
