“America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal. And we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words, within our borders and around the world. We are shaped by every culture. Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.” WorldGivingHas BeensEndsSelfStatesEarthAmericaCultureBornSimpleUnitedKnownUnited StatesProgressBloodCenturySourceRevolutionEqualConceptsIdealsAround The WorldBordersEmpiresDedicatedShedStereotypeCrude Author:Barack Obama
“In the mid-fifties, a revolution occurred and a new word entered the vocabulary of commercial art. Concept... But the change was not entirely good. Our gain was also a loss...

“Adolescence has been recognised as a stage of human development since medieval times--long, long before the industrial revolution--and, as it is now, has long been seen as a phase which centers on the fusion of sexual and social maturity. Indeed, adolescence as a concept has as long a history as that of puberty, which is sometimes considered more concrete, and hence much easier to name and to recognize.” HumansLongHas BeensSometimesNamesSocialStageRevolutionDevelopmentEasierConceptsMaturityConcretePhasesAdolescenceMedievalHuman DevelopmentPubertyFusionIndustrial RevolutionMedieval Times Author:Terri E Apter
“As the haves and have-nots split further and further apart, destabilization ultimately leads to revolution, not evolution.

“The French Revolution gave us three... powerful ideas, or concepts - liberty, equality and fraternity. But these ideas... are not only right in themselves, but they are so because they come in the proper order. You cannot have equality without liberty, and you certainly cannot have fraternity without equality. The importance of this I learnt from music, because music evolves in time, and therefore the order inevitably determines the content.” IdeasOrderThreePowerfulLibertyRevolutionMusic IsConceptsImportanceDetermineEvolveFraternityFrench Revolution Author:Daniel Barenboim
“I think our concept of revolution, in terms of getting the power to do things, is too focused on the state. We have a scenario of revolution that first, you know, comes from 1917, that first you take the state power, and then you change things. And we don't realize it's collapsed.” ThinkingKnowsFirstsStatesTermRealizingRevolutionConceptsFocusedScenarios Author:Grace Lee Boggs
“In my book "Sound Unbound" we traced the guy who actually came up with the main concept for the graphic design of the record cover sleeve. His name is Alex Steinweiss.

“Those people that created the cultural Marxist thoughts, one guy by the name of Antonio Gramsci, very important within the Frankfurt School, argued against the concept of Marxist Leninism, in which it was basically the revolutionary spirit where someone would say we need to rile up the lower classes and have a revolution and take over the factories.” PeopleNeedsImportantSchoolSpiritGuyNamesClassRevolutionConceptsRevolutionaryFactoriesMarxistLower ClassAntonioFrankfurt Author:Andrew Breitbart

“We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is.

“The solutions put forth by imperialism are the quintessence of simplicity...When they speak of the problems of population and birth, they are in no way moved by concepts related to the interests of the family or of society...Just when science and technology are making incredible advances in all fields, they resort to technology to suppress revolutions and ask the help of science to prevent population growth. In short, the peoples are not to make revolutions, and women are not to give birth. This sums up the philosophy of imperialism.” WayGivingPhilosophyHelpingProblemScienceAsksSpeakGrowthInterestTechnologyFieldsRevolutionBirthSolutionsConceptsAccountsMovedIncrediblesSimplicityPopulationRelatedImperialismResortsScience And TechnologyPopulation GrowthQuintessence Author:Fidel Castro
