Famous quotes containing the words electric, energy, consumption, member and/or countries:

    “Remember dancing in
    those electric shoes?
    Remember?
    Remember music
    and beware.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Just as we need to encourage women to test life’s many options, we need to acknowledge real limits of energy and resources. It would be pointless and cruel to prescribe role combination for every woman at each moment of her life. Life has its seasons. There are moments when a woman ought to invest emotionally in many different roles, and other moments when she may need to conserve her psychological energies.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

    “Daily life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out.”
    —Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    “The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
    —Viola Spolin (b. 1911)

    “We are the sons and daughters of the world they saved. [Now is our moment] to make common cause with other countries to ensure a world of peace and prosperity for yet another generation.”
    —Bill Clinton (b. 1946)
