Famous quotes containing the words energy, authority and/or act:
“In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.”
—Michel Foucault (19261984)
“Every day begins with an act of courage and hope: getting out of bed.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
