Quotes of 1969

Quotes taken from the authors in 1969

Work is a way of bringing order to chaos, and there's a basic satisfaction in seeing that we are able to make something a little more coherent by the end of the day.

Alain de Botton

What bothers me is that there is so much emphasis on food, rather than gathering and meeting - so that there is all this effort in creating the right food, whereas the food is only a small part of whether the encounter is successful or not.

Alain de Botton

My writing always came out of a very personal place, out of an attempt to stay sane.

Alain de Botton

Status anxiety definitely exists at a political level. Many Iraqis were annoyed with the US essentially for reasons of status: for not showing them respect, for humiliating them.

Alain de Botton

Social media has lots of benefits, but compared to Christianity, it tends to group people by interests. Religion puts you with people who have nothing in common except that you're human.

Alain de Botton

In order to gain the respect of your players in the locker room, you can't just perform on Saturday. You have to do it consistently during practices, meetings, and in the weight room.

Junior Seau

As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.

Junior Seau

I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back.

Junior Seau

Playing football and rugby is the Samoan sport. It's part of the conversation at church. It's part of the conversation in their barbershops, in the grocery stores. It's what everyone is aware of and familiar with. They take a lot of pride in the beating you can take in the course of that sport.

Junior Seau

Too many athletes are living in a tiny window. They have no vision for themselves - what they can be outside of football and what they can mean to a community. They just don't know any better. My hopes and dreams are unlimited.

Junior Seau

The talent of a true writer and poet is in the ear.

Bryant H.McGill

Hate controls everything it touches, but love sets everything it touches free.

Bryant H.McGill

Like manchurian candidates, we have been made into manchurian consumers, who subconsciously buy when we are triggered by our brand masters.

Bryant H.McGill

I have never read for entertainment, but rather for understanding and to satisfy my eager curiosity.

Bryant H.McGill

The common person fears to think beyond the common.

Bryant H.McGill

A joke is not a thing but a process, a trick you play on the listener's mind. You start him off toward a plausible goal, and then by a sudden twist you land him nowhere at all or just where he didn't expect to go.

Max Eastman

The defining function of the artist is to cherish consciousness.

Max Eastman

Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.

Max Eastman

Robert Benchley has a style that is weak and lies down frequently to rest.

Max Eastman

A liberal mind is a mind that is able to imagine itself believing anything.

Max Eastman
