I really think it would be cowardly to pull back and not challenge the status quo, when the status quo may not be the right way for the field to go.
For no continuity of social act is possible without a corresponding social status and the many different kinds of act required in an industrial state, with its high degree of specialization, make for corresponding classification of status.
Texas has waited too long for a governor who knows that quid pro quo shouldn't be the status quo. It's time for a governor who believes that you don't have to buy a place in Texas' future.
Labor should not be about creating monuments on hills or statues in parks. Labor's monuments and statues are when a young person can find a job, when a person with disability can get access to the ordinary life that others take for granted.
No matter your race, level of education, gender, age, religion, cultural beliefs, physical appearance, social status, financial status and more, always remember that you are as important as everyone else.
The people have already determined Chechnya's status at the referendum - it is a unit of the Russian Federation. Its political status is not to be discussed any more.
Celebrity is a word I take great umbrage with. I'm actively anti-celebrity.
Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn't mean anything. I don't think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no cele...
The truth is black celebrities are not as sought after in the press as white celebrities, and that is comforting.
There is no celebrity quite as powerful as the local, homegrown celebrity.
The star thing, the celebrity thing, is new to me.
What gets recognized gets repeated; what gets celebrated becomes a habit. Individual recognition and group celebration fuel high performance. Make an effort to compliment people doing something right. There's nothing more fun than celebrating success...
I think celebrity has become almost normalized. I feel like we all live our lives in a pale imitation of celebrity. With Facebook, we choose a photo that is not too good a photo - we're more arch than that. We're our own celebrity publicists. We unde...
During National Playground Safety Week, I'll celebrate common-sense safety. I'll also celebrate skinned knees and bruised elbows. I'll celebrate so-called 'dangerous' playgrounds - playgrounds with see-saws, zip lines and towering slides.
Revolution from above, in some states and cases, is [...] often preferable to the status quo, or to no revolution at all.
As your care recipient’s advocate, be involved, don’t accept the status quo, and don’t be afraid to voice your concerns.
The most dangerous ideas are not those that challenge the status quo. The most dangerous ideas are those so embedded in the status quo, so wrapped in a cloud of inevitability, that we forget they are ideas at all.
Because of this high status of the object in our culture, something has to be a thing. Live efforts are almost marginal. I think dance, for example, is just as much a thing, and I want for it to have the same status. I don't want it to be the thing t...
Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated. I'm celebrated in Detroit.
I represent celebrities, but I am not a celebrity.
Celebrity is death - celebrity - that's the worst thing that can happen to an actor.
