“In war the chief incalculable is the human will, which manifests itself in resistance, which in turn lies in the province of tactics. Strategy has not to overcome resistance, except from nature. Its purpose is to diminish the possibility of resistance, and it seeks to fulfil this purpose by exploiting the elements of movement and surprise.” HumansWarLyingPurposeTurnsMilitaryMovementPossibilityElementsOvercomingStrategySurpriseResistanceChiefsDiminishTacticsProvincesHuman Will Author:B.

“The development of the doctrine of international arbitration, considered from the standpoint of its ultimate benefits to the human race, is the most vital movement of modern times.

“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order.

“We live in the age of "Everything Has Rights." Now, I'm not denying that the concept of rights is valid, but I wonder whatever happened to obligations? One rarely hears the term anymore. Indeed, have you ever heard of a "human obligations movement?" The very ideal that holds a democracy together--the willingness to make personal sacrifice for the common good--is going quickly by the wayside.” HumansAgeTogetherTermCommonResponsibilityWonderDemocracyRightsHappenedHeardSacrificeMovementConceptsIdealsObligationWillingnessCommon GoodPersonal Sacrifice Author:John Rosemond
“The "environmental movement" is becoming an economic movement, is joining the social justice movement, is becoming a sustainability movement.

“Women's liberation, if not the most extreme then certainly the most influential neo-Marxist movement in America, has done to the American home what communism did to the Russian economy, and most of the ruin is irreversible. By defining relations between men and women in terms of power and competition instead of reciprocity and cooperation, the movement tore apart the most basic and fragile contract in human society, the unit from which all other social institutions draw their strength.” IfsMenHumansDoneHomeAmericaSocialTermEconomyMovementDrawsMen And WomenRelationInstitutionsCompetitionExtremesRuinsCommunismLiberationContractsCooperationFragileUnitsDefiningInfluentialHuman SocietyMarxistReciprocityIrreversibleSocial InstitutionsRussian Economy Author:Ruth Wisse
“What had really caused the women's movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women's life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn't live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was "the problem that had no name." Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.” YearsFirstsHumansProblemTurnsNamesTermRealizingCommonStepsOur LivesCenturyMovementSixFaultsMotherhoodHuman LifeFortyFirst StepsEightyExpectancyLife Expectancy Author:Betty Friedan
