I have never been an activist for anything. ~ Jim Parsons
Activist quotes by Jim Parsons
Animal rights activists gives disillusioned feminists an excuse to go back to being women protecting wee creatures without compromising their radical credentials ~ Florence King
Activist quotes by Florence King
I can only tell you the kind of power I want, which is the power to persuade. But I do not want the power to tell other people what to do. Persuade assumes that the other person is going to make the decision. Especially as a writer and an activist, I want the power to put ideas and possibilities out there, but I understand that they will only work if they are freely chosen, so I don't want the power to dictate or to force the choice, ever. ~ Gloria Steinem
Activist quotes by Gloria Steinem
The big difference between animal liberation activists and other so-called 'terrorists' is the targets; no innocent victims are ever targeted in animal lib campaigns. If you are not abusing and exploiting animals, there is no need to fear for one's safety. ~ Jerry Vlasak
Activist quotes by Jerry Vlasak
The documentary we are working on is about my mother, Bev Umehara, for whom our film company, Bev's Girl Films, is named after. It is a passion project that I have wanted to make since her unexpected passing in 1999. The film is about my mother's calling which came late in life, at 47, when she made the sudden transformation from a humble hardworking secretary and mother of four, into a labor activist, a respected union leader, and a role model for rank-and-file workers, women of color, and for all Asian Pacific Americans. ~ Garth Kravits
Activist quotes by Garth Kravits
Americans would have a right to go to war with the Iraqis if we could name one author from Iraq. It disturbs me that we're going to war with somebody we know absolutely nothing about. Name one Iraqi poet, one Iraqi woman activist, one Iraqi singer. Name one Iraqi novelist. You can't. And how can you go kill someone you don't know anything about? ~ Jimmy Santiago Baca
Activist quotes by Jimmy Santiago Baca
For most of recorded history, parental violence against children and men's violence against wives was explicitly or implicitly condoned. Those who had the power to prevent and/or punish this violence through religion, law, or custom, openly or tacitly approved it ... The reason violence against women and children is finally out in the open is that activists have brought it to global attention. ~ Riane Eisler
Activist quotes by Riane Eisler
Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger. ~ Christine Quinn
Activist quotes by Christine Quinn
I was never an activist, in the sense that I didn't really join a lot of organizations. I wasn't out in the streets. But what I did become was a writer. My activism was in writing. ~ Vivian Gornick
Activist quotes by Vivian Gornick
When activists need a pretext to justify their violence, they always find it. ~ Charb
Activist quotes by Charb
I intensely dislike the word 'critic,' because it puts you in an antagonistic position to artists. I've learned everything that I know about art from artists ... I see myself as an advocate and an activist and a writer. ~ Lucy R. Lippard
Activist quotes by Lucy R. Lippard
I worked, studied, mothered and continued to be an activist. I found that Cuba was much different from the US; its government was genuinely trying to erase racism. ~ Assata Shakur
Activist quotes by Assata Shakur
I know that you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you ... And you ... And you ... Gotta give em hope. ~ Harvey Milk
Activist quotes by Harvey Milk
Or perhaps it's "activist," but on environmental and economic problems, without understanding that pressuring women to have too many children is the biggest cause of environmental distress, and economic courses should start with reproduction, not just production. ~ Gloria Steinem
Activist quotes by Gloria Steinem
Over time I tried everything from "the good girl" with my "perform-perfect-please" routine, to clove-smoking poet, angry activist, corporate climber, and out-of-control party girl. At first glance these may seem like reasonable, if not predictable, developmental stages, but they were more than that for me. All of my stages were different suits of armor that kept me from becoming too engaged and too vulnerable. Each strategy was built on the same premise: Keep everyone at a safe distance and always have an exit strategy. ~ Brene Brown
Activist quotes by Brene Brown
I fully realize that a person who stands for what I stand for, an activist, a gay activist, becomes the target or the potential target for a person who is insecure, terrified, afraid, or very disturbed with themselves. ~ Harvey Milk
Activist quotes by Harvey Milk
Someone's always calling for my resignation. It's nothing new. It's something that's been part of my tenure at Exodus over the last decade plus. So he can add his voice to the chorus of others whether it's gay activists or now a New Testament professor. ~ Alan Chambers
Activist quotes by Alan Chambers
While the average satellite in orbit costs around $100 million to build, Tyvak's start at $45,000. Their clients range from well-funded high school science clubs to NASA. Given the revolution in accessibility, it's possible to imagine other nonstate actors having a go at space as well. Nongovernmental organizations may start pursuing missions that undermine governments' objectives. An activist billionaire wanting to promote transparency could deploy a constellation of satellites to monitor and then tweet the movements of troops worldwide. Criminal syndicates could use satellites to monitor the patterns of law enforcement in order elude capture, or a junta could use them to track rivals after a coup. ~ Anonymous
Activist quotes by Anonymous
The Tunisian blogger and activist Sami Ben Gharbia has written passionately about how U.S. government involvement in grassroots digital spaces can endanger those who are already vulnerable to accusations by nasty regimes of acting as foreign agents. ~ Rebecca MacKinnon
Activist quotes by Rebecca MacKinnon
Someone who does an act. In a democratic society, you're supposed to be an activist; that is, you participate. It could be a letter written to an editor. ~ Studs Terkel
Activist quotes by Studs Terkel
Obama wanted to offer his support to birth control activist Sandra Fluke. He wanted to express his disappointment that she has been the subject of inappropriate personal attacks and thank her for exercising her rights as a citizen to speak out on an issue of public policy. ~ Jay Carney
Activist quotes by Jay Carney
While I was studying film at the Academy, the problems started. I wasn't a political activist directly in the time of Saddam [Hussein], because the dictator was so cruel and brutal that no one could criticize or complain. I felt futile and empty. The only solution in Iraq was to run away. ~ Hassan Blasim
Activist quotes by Hassan Blasim
As they passed through the exit, Indrani pulled Zarina's stole over her head, covering half of her face. The two words - not guilty - had changed Zarina's stature in minutes, from a relentless human rights activist to someone running for cover. They climbed down the stairs and rushed to the parking lot. Zarina's car was in a pathetic condition - smashed windscreen, deflated tyres, broken rear view mirrors and torn upholstery. An exasperated Zarina raised her hands in utter disgust. Mob fury. Idiots, if they have won the case, let them celebrate their victory; why smash my car? The fighter in her forced Zarina to take out her cell phone and click pictures of her car from different angles. ~ Hariharan Iyer
Activist quotes by Hariharan Iyer
I am not a lobbyist. I am not a political activist. I am not a leader, as far as I'm concerned. ~ Jose Antonio Vargas
Activist quotes by Jose Antonio Vargas
I suppose I am one: an activist - for animals and a vegan lifestyle. I hear that word, however, and look around to see if someone is indeed referring to me. ~ Victoria Moran
Activist quotes by Victoria Moran
Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important that the law as written. ~ Wendy E. Long
Activist quotes by Wendy E. Long
My mother's husband Harry Bloom was a writer, a novelist, a reporter, and an anti-apartheid activist. ~ Orlando Bloom
Activist quotes by Orlando Bloom
Judi Bari did something that I believe is unparalleled in the history of the environmental movement. She is an Earth First! activist who took it upon herself to organize Georgia Pacific sawmill workers into the IWW ... Well guess what friends, environmentalists and rank and file timber workers becoming allies is the most dangerous thing in the world to the timber industry! ~ Darryl Cherney
Activist quotes by Darryl Cherney
In current times when everyone tells us to work smart, they are right. Be idealist, bring grand big ideas, innovate and launch thrilling initiatives but then, work hard. Work real hard because all that has ever been achieved in this world is by true dedication, persistence and consistent hard work". ~ Khalida Brohi
Activist quotes by Khalida Brohi
My mother, for the last 20 years anyway, would not call herself a Marxist but a human rights activist. ~ Joely Richardson
Activist quotes by Joely Richardson
Many social justice or social activist movements have been rooted in a position. A position is usually against something. Any position will call up its opposition. If I say up, it generates down. If I say right, it really creates left. If I say good, it creates bad. So a position creates its opposition. A stand is something quite distinct from that.

There are synonyms for "stand" such as "declaration" or "commitment," but let me talk for just a few moments about the power of a stand. A stand comes from the heart, from the soul. A stand is always life affirming. A stand is always trustworthy. A stand is natural to who you are. When we use the phrase "take a stand" I'm really inviting you to un-cover, or "unconceal," or recognize, or affirm, or claim the stand that you already are.

Stand-takers are the people who actually change the course of history and are the source of causing an idea's time to come. Mahatma Gandhi was a stand-taker. He took a stand so powerful that it mobilized millions of people in a way that the completely unpredictable outcome of the British walking out of India did happen. And India became an independent nation. The stand that he took… or the stand that Martin Luther King, Jr. took or the stand that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony took for women's rights - those stands changed our lives today. The changes that have taken place in history as a result of the stand-takers are permanent changes, not temporary changes. The ~ Lynne Twist
Activist quotes by Lynne Twist
Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good. ~ Michael Franti
Activist quotes by Michael Franti
Actually, I never really look at myself as a real radical activist; I am more the conservative. I mean, the conservatives are trying to conserve; the radicals are destroying the planet. ~ Paul Watson
Activist quotes by Paul Watson
The Christian Coalition of Alabama will work to ensure that reckless trial lawyers and activist judges will not be able to open the floodgates to increase taxes and that private, Christian, parochial and home-school families will be protected. ~ Johnny Giles
Activist quotes by Johnny Giles
The bigotry is so virulent that it may be time to make Christians a protected class. Right now 'Christo-phobia' and 'Biblo-phobia' are at such a fever pitch among leftists and homosexual activists, and they need to be stopped before they get carried away in their zeal and do bodily harm to someone. Once again we must remind them our Constitution says, 'freedom of religion' and not 'freedom from religion.' ~ E.W. Jackson
Activist quotes by E.W. Jackson
Scientists and religious leaders, activists and first nation leaders, CEOs of corporations and actors, all of us need to come together, because the planet is in a lot of pain. My job [acting] doesn't always feel like an integral part of the change that needs to occur. If I can offer, in my profession, to do things that are going to allow more people to connect with certain issues, then I hope it's useful. ~ Ellen Page
Activist quotes by Ellen Page
Ralph Nader choose the man with whom to share the responsibility of running a distant third, California activist Peter Camejo. You may remember that Camejo ran for president in 1976 on the Socialist Workers Party ticket. Actually, you might only remember that if you run a lesbian, vegetarian, bookstore. ~ Jon Stewart
Activist quotes by Jon Stewart
I've been on both sides: the victim and the villain. I was the victimised model, and everything from my weight to my fertility was held up for discussion. And then I was the person that could garner some kind of positive outcome, by taking on the role of vice chairman of the British Fashion Council and becoming an activist of body image. ~ Erin O'Connor
Activist quotes by Erin O'Connor
But wouldn't [the Spice Girls] have shown a little bit more solidarity if they had at least called themselves feminists? The feminist activist Jennifer Pozner was more dismissive,writing that it was "probably a fair assumption to say that 'zigazig-ha' is not Spice shorthand for 'subvert the dominant paradigm. ~ Marisa Meltzer
Activist quotes by Marisa Meltzer
I and you and everyone else has to be a political activist. ~ Michael Moore
Activist quotes by Michael Moore
Marcus Samuelsson is a chef who inspires me everyday. He has such a deep understanding of flavors and techniques. His food is representative of the diverse world that we live in. What he has done in Harlem with Red Rooster is very special. Marcus is not just a chef, he's a food activist. ~ Aaron Sanchez
Activist quotes by Aaron Sanchez
There can be no peace without justice and respect for human rights. ~ Irene Khan
Activist quotes by Irene Khan
I'm always the one with the activist friends. I've been an activist very little. ~ Peter Carey
Activist quotes by Peter Carey
My early years as a political activist were dominated by the poll tax. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
Activist quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
The activists will not stop in trying to impose their extreme views on the rest of us, and they have now plotted out a state-by-state strategy to increase the number of judicial decisions redefining marriage without the voice of the people being heard. ~ Jim Bunning
Activist quotes by Jim Bunning
I want to be a lawyer, a dancer, an actress, a mother, a wife, a children's author, a distance runner, a poet, a pianist, a pet store owner, an astronaut, an environmental and humanitarian activist, a psychiatrist, a ballet teacher, and the first woman president. ~ Rachel Corrie
Activist quotes by Rachel Corrie
President Obama appears to me to have elevated and implemented the artist-activist concept to the role of empowered servant-leader ... ~ Aberjhani
Activist quotes by Aberjhani
I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist. ~ Ali MacGraw
Activist quotes by Ali MacGraw
Look at the language. If a scientist delivers the simple, unconditional, absolutely certain statements that politicians and journalists want, he is talking as an activist, not a scientist. ~ Daniel Gardner
Activist quotes by Daniel Gardner
Surely people can now see that it is no accident that he, Obama, sat at the feet of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, that he is mother was a leftist activist and cultural Marxist, that his main early mentor was radical Frank Marshall Davis, that he was a member of the far-left New Party in Chicago, that his main vocation in life has been street organizing and agitation and that he didn't think the revolutionarily, transformative Warren court was liberal enough. ~ David Limbaugh
Activist quotes by David Limbaugh
Ethiopian Singer and Activist, Hachalu Hundessa, Is Shot Dead. Very sad that we are experiencing this sort of barbaric treatment of citizens off a "free world" in 2020. The world would be a boring place without critics. ~ DON SANTO
Activist quotes by DON SANTO
My passion for others and my experience as an actor and citizen of the world has naturally shaped me into a social and political activist who finds fulfillment from their work with meaningful organizations. ~ Sufe Bradshaw
Activist quotes by Sufe Bradshaw
If you take a guy who loves the sound of his own voice and give him power, he becomes a demagogue. If you give him money, he becomes a show-off. Give him the internet, and he's a ceaselessly flaming activist; give him an Internet of Things, and he becomes a wrangler, a guy for whom every possible relationship to any possible object or service is some ever-ramifying, well-nigh metaphysical hacker session. ~ Bruce Sterling
Activist quotes by Bruce Sterling
The goal of the spiritual activist is to find inner peace even in externally chaotic circumstances. ~ Marianne Williamson
Activist quotes by Marianne Williamson
I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love and be loved. She can be married, have children, be a mother. Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life. ~ Leila Khaled
Activist quotes by Leila Khaled
I think the church is often a culprit in the busyness, especially in the evangelical church. Again, it's part of being Americans. Part of being evangelicals too is that we're highly activist. We are always diving in, willing to solve problems, and again there's a lot good there. But we also need the theological balance that the Kingdom is not ours to bring or ours to create. ~ Kevin DeYoung
Activist quotes by Kevin DeYoung
Rosa Parks' entire career has been one as working as a civil rights activist. ~ Douglas Brinkley
Activist quotes by Douglas Brinkley
People get cranky when you burst their bubble. Over time, advances in astronomy have relentlessly reinforced the utter insignificance of Earth on a celestial scale. Fortunately, political and religious leaders stopped barbecuing astronomers for saying so, turning their spits with human-rights activists instead. ~ Nathan Myhrvold
Activist quotes by Nathan Myhrvold
I think it's very important to invite and encourage people to talk about climate change who have a lay understanding. In general, there is a lot of confusion among climate activists about the role of science, that scientists should be social and political leaders of this movement. ~ Margaret D. Klein
Activist quotes by Margaret D. Klein
As a writer and sometime activist who needs to promote my books and articles and occasionally rally people to one cause or another, I found Facebook fast and convenient. Though I never really used it to socialize, I figured it was OK to let other people do that, and I benefited from their behavior. ~ Douglas Rushkoff
Activist quotes by Douglas Rushkoff
John Milton almost single-handedly created the identity of the writer as political activist. ~ Anna Beer
Activist quotes by Anna Beer
Historically speaking, we went from being Indians to pagans to savages to hostiles to militants to activists to Native Americans. Its five hundred years later and they still cant see us. We are still invisible. ~ John Trudell
Activist quotes by John Trudell
During the summer of 2009, conservative activists turned up the heat on Democratic politicians to protest the innovation-destroying, liberty-usurping Obamacare mandate. In the summer of 2012, it's squishy Republican politicians who deserve the grassroots flames. ~ Michelle Malkin
Activist quotes by Michelle Malkin
Martin Luther King was only an activist for 13 years and every year he changed and every year he became more radical. By the end he was calling for revolution. People don't know this because they go to too many prayer breakfasts on his birthday. ~ Bill Ayers
Activist quotes by Bill Ayers
I do have a plan for the country [the USA]. It needs education. And there should be drug education - only people should be taught how to smoke pot, because even potheads don't know how to smoke pot. I've evolved into not only an activist, but an educator. I want to show people how, when, and why they should smoke pot. ~ Tommy Chong
Activist quotes by Tommy Chong
One key difference between a conspiracy theorist and an activist, for lack of a better word, is that the conspiracy theorist holds that the best defense is more and better knowledge (read my website, listen to my explanation, investigate what you know) and the activist holds that the best defense is creating another world. ~ Alexis Shotwell
Activist quotes by Alexis Shotwell
Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it, ~ Ingrid Newkirk
Activist quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
How many leaders in the Islamic world are really familiar with the ideas which underpin modernity? I have met some leaders of activist factions, and have been consistently shocked by their lack of knowledge. How many can even name the principal intellectual systems of our time? Structuralism, post-modernism, realism, analytic philosophy, critical theory, and all the rest are closed books to them. Instead they burble on about the 'International Zionist Masonic Conspiracy', or 'Baha'ism', or the 'New Crusader Invasion', or similar phantasms. If we want to understand why so many Islamic movements fail, we should perhaps begin by acknowledging that their leaders simply do not have the intellectual grasp of the modern world which is the precondition for successfully overcoming the obstacles to Islamic governance. A Muslim activist who does not understand the ideologies of modernism can hardly hope to overcome them.

Islam and the New Millennium ~ Abdal Hakim Murad
Activist quotes by Abdal Hakim Murad
I am very proud of our Supreme Court - it is one of the best worldwide. Nevertheless, since the 1990s, we have seen a certain imbalance in the relationship between the judiciary, the parliament and the government. The Supreme Court behaved in an activist way. We have to debate the degree to which such Supreme Court activism is appropriate. ~ Ayelet Shaked
Activist quotes by Ayelet Shaked
Political activists of all stripes are usually a wacky bunch, and never more so than in a system like Britain's, where power is effected via the quiescence of the electorate as much as its convictions. ~ Will Self
Activist quotes by Will Self
In 1970, American women were paid 59 cents for every dollar their male counterparts made. By 2010, women had protested, fought, and worked their butts off to raise that compensation to 77 cents for every dollar men made.10 As activist Marlo Thomas wryly joked on Equal Pay Day 2011, "Forty years and eighteen cents. A dozen eggs have gone up ten times that amount."11 ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Activist quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
As the Navajo and Christian activist Mark Charles explains, when citizens of the thirteen British colonies composed the Declaration of Independence, among their complaints against King George was that he didn't allow them to apply the Doctrine of Discovery to the people of the lands to their west.22 The Declaration described the indigenous peoples as "merciless Indian savages," clearly not counted among the "all men" whom God supposedly "created equal. ~ Brian D. McLaren
Activist quotes by Brian D. McLaren
My father was a physicist and also an activist. My first public protest was with my dad at Stanford. I came by all that honestly. ~ Joan Baez
Activist quotes by Joan Baez
Hanging out in coffee shops and talking about one day being a writer or an activist or an entrepreneur is just about the worst thing you can do. ~ Jeff Goins
Activist quotes by Jeff Goins
When activists say we need to move past the partisan divide, what they mean is: Shut up and get with my program. Have you ever heard anyone say, "We need to get past all of this partisan squabbling and name-calling. That's why I'm going to abandon all my objections and agree with you"? ~ Jonah Goldberg
Activist quotes by Jonah Goldberg
I find myself walking these lines. Like I might be an artist, but I also might be an activist. And I'm trying to be both in a way that honors both and doesn't stray too far into either. ~ Chris Jordan
Activist quotes by Chris Jordan
Chew on one thinker-writer, activist, role model- you really love. Study everything there is to know about that thinker. Then find three people the thinker loved and find out everything about them. Repeat this as many times as you can. Climb up the tree as far as you can go. Once you built your tree, it's time to start your own branch. ~ Austin Kleon
Activist quotes by Austin Kleon
If you had the option to pray for me or fight with me, you better choose the fight. ~ Darnell Lamont Walker
Activist quotes by Darnell Lamont Walker
There's no risk on the path to bliss
Be your own activist
Imagine altering the process of thoughts to positive and passionate
Honing in on habits of happiness ~ Andrew Edward Lucier
Activist quotes by Andrew Edward Lucier
I wasn't an activist then. I would become one eventually, but at that time I did not yet see myself as an organizer or a leader, I saw myself as a foot soldier in the movement and as an active participant - not a bystander or observer - in a particular and extraordinary moment in history. I think that all of my friends felt some degree of obligation to at least show up, be counted, and stand with our brothers and sisters and to be as fierce and fabulous and free as possible ~ Cleve Jones
Activist quotes by Cleve Jones
It used to be that if someone was to get involved in feminism, it was probably because they were already interested. They were already interested in feminism; they were already interested in being an activist, and they found their way to like a NOW meeting or to a consciousness-raising group or something like that. ~ Jessica Valenti
Activist quotes by Jessica Valenti
Our charge is not to 'save the world' after all," (activist Courtney Martin)'s written. "It is to live in it, flawed and fierce, loving and humble. ~ Krista Tippett
Activist quotes by Krista Tippett
We are wide open and vulnerable and in all likelihood an activist judge will strike down our Defense of Marriage Act, our state law against gay marriage, this year. And in all likelihood, we will have gay marriage in 2004 in Minnesota , if we don't get this amendment on the ballot for November. ~ Michele Bachmann
Activist quotes by Michele Bachmann
Some believed that Satan had come to earth in human form as a party activist, his collective farm register a book of hell, promising torment and damnation. ~ Timothy Snyder
Activist quotes by Timothy Snyder
Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesnt make a corporation a terrorist ~ Winona LaDuke
Activist quotes by Winona LaDuke
As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices. ~ Isaac Hayes
Activist quotes by Isaac Hayes
There is something about eating animals that tends to polarize: never eat them or never sincerely question eating them; become an activist or disdain activists. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Activist quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I spent ridiculous amounts of time as an activist and volunteer and was a teacher for 20 years. ~ Johann Lamont
Activist quotes by Johann Lamont
It's been important to me to be a good activist, a good thinker, a good musician, a good singer, and a good entertainer. You can't do it all, but I have walked those delicate lines as best I know how. ~ Holly Near
Activist quotes by Holly Near
What stunned me was the regular assertion that feminists were "anti-family." ... It was motherhood that got me into the movementin the first place. I became an activist after recognizing how excruciatingly personal the political was to me and my sons. It was the women's movement that put self-esteem back into "just a housewife," rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of "instinct" and making it human, deliberate, powerful. ~ Mary Blakely
Activist quotes by Mary Blakely
I've always had an interest in complicating the way that we perceive the black character, whether it's the black academic or scholar or activist or black intellectual. ~ Rashid Johnson
Activist quotes by Rashid Johnson
The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay and the disabled make up the American quilt ~ Jesse Jackson
Activist quotes by Jesse Jackson
There seems to be a psychological law of inertia that bogs down every hopeful activist and subverts every revolution. When compassion and empathy fail, backsliding begins. Or totalitarianism. ~ Patrick Califia-Rice
Activist quotes by Patrick Califia-Rice
If you aren't an activist you're an inactivist. ~ Ric O'Barry
Activist quotes by Ric O'Barry
I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I'm not an activist, but I am a human being and I don't give that up by being a journalist. ~ Anderson Cooper
Activist quotes by Anderson Cooper
Activist: not as much acting as it is reacting- which is my story ~ Candace Gingrich-Jones
Activist quotes by Candace Gingrich-Jones
For a man who makes his salvation perfect through suffering, is more of a saint and a loving hero of nature. ~ Auliq Ice
Activist quotes by Auliq Ice
I don't think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I'm being effective, because I'm not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change. ~ Al Sharpton
Activist quotes by Al Sharpton
Independent thinkers have always been a threat to those whose courage lies in the masses. ~ Bill Madden
Activist quotes by Bill Madden
Over the years, I've found that I either live life or write about it. I can't seem to do both simultaneously - I have to do it sequentially. When I write incessantly, I lose touch with the issues and passions that fuel the work. But when I get too involved in organizations or movement endeavors, I almost forget that I'm a writer. It's a constant struggle to find a balance between these two worlds - the solitary writing life and the life of a social justice activist. ~ Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Activist quotes by Letty Cottin Pogrebin
