That man is a creature who needs order yet yearns for change, is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy
Adler, Freda

Feelings change, memories don't.
Alexander, Joel

Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.
Alinsky, Saul David

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind
Angelou, Maya

Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations ... can never effect a reform
Anthony, Susan B

In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interests are at stake.
Aristotle

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be...This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Asimov, Isaac

We would rather be ruined than changed. We would rather die in our dread than climb the cross of the moment and let our illusions die.
Auden, Wystan Hugh

He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils, for time is the greatest innovator.
Bacon, Sir Francis

As the births of living creatures at first are ill-shapen, so are all innovations, which are the births of time.
Bacon, Sir Francis

Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things
Baker, Russell Wayne

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
Baldwin, James Arthur

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way... people look at reality, then you can change it.
Baldwin, James Arthur

All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.
Barr, Amelia Edith

It is easier to show the disorder that must accompany reform than the order that should follow it
Bastiat, Frederic

Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts
Bennett, Enoch Arnold

Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.
Benson, Arthur Christopher

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
Bergson, Henri Louis

Standards of excellence are not chiselled in stone. They are constantly being redefined. It is important to recognize that what was graded excellent last year may not be so this year. That is why we must keep mastering new skills.
Biehl, Bob

It's easy to make a buck. It's tougher to make a difference.
Brokaw, Tom

I've learned that things change, people change, and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn't mean giving up it means accepting that some things weren't meant to be.
Brooks, Lisa

Why stay we on the earth except to grow?
Browning, Robert

A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.
Burke, Edmund

At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope that it can be done, then they see that it can be done - then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.
Burnett, Francis Eliza Hodgson

Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.
Buscaglia, Dr. Felice Leonardo
