But in a turbulent environment the change is so widespread that it just routes around any kind of central authority. So it is best to manage the bottom-up change rather than try to institute it from the top down.
Most of the time, when I get an idea that hinges on some science 'thing,' it will have been because of something I read or encountered months or years earlier rather than in the last few days.
I do not know whether there be, as a rule, more vocal expression of the sentiment of love between a man and a woman, than there is between two thrushes. They whistle and call to each other, guided by instinct rather than by reason.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
Christianity emerged from the religion of Israel. Or rather, it has as its background a persistent strain in that religion. To that strain Christians have looked back, and rightly, as the preparation in history for their faith.
Israeli society's inability to tolerate even a single soldier held in captivity results in popular movements that have tremendous impact on strategic decisions made by the government. The issue has become a generator of history rather than an outcome of it.
There's a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history.
If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians.
Here we have a situation where a defendant in a case agrees to an interview with Dan Rather. It happened to be not confidential. But it was an interview with Dan Rather.
Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face, women have been trained to cut off anger.
For a long time, I can't say I was one who really enjoyed acting. I was always censoring it, or editing it, or analyzing it, rather than just going with it.
Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie.
I think that what I'm interested with is the creative side of music-making, rather than all the travelling.
What is happening now to me in my career is amazing, so I dwell on the things that are happening rather than the things that aren't, because what's the point? It doesn't make them happen.
A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.
I am rather in favour of dealing with teenage hooliganism.
Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child's play.
In order for the students' development and the outer development of civilization to coincide, we need a faculty whose interest is not limited to specialized educational practices. Rather, this faculty must be fully involved in the broader aspects of life.
I consider a goal as a journey rather than a destination. And each year I set a new goal.
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.
I'd rather tell you how I really feel.
What we should be doing in the EU as a whole is more economic integration in the single market, rather than less.
Yes, I do come with certain reservations, and I'm not OK with certain things, but rather than focusing on what I don't want to do, I focus on what I do want to do, and I bring that energy, and that happens.
When I have a day off, I won't spend it at a Hollywood party. I'd rather be at home with paints and a blank canvas.
It's easier to get an actor when you just ask them to do a day on something rather than have them come in, audition, get picked.
I'd rather have 10 Super Bowl trophies and no MVPs.

Words are the basic tools, if you are a writer. But why? Why do you choose one set of tools rather than another?
I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
It is not my nature, when I see a people borne down by the weight of their shackles - the oppression of tyranny - to make their life more bitter by heaping upon them greater burdens; but rather would I do all in my power to raise the yoke than to add anything that would tend to crush them.
I would rather read a poorly structured story that has fresh ideas than a tightly structured one with cliches.
I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.
When an entrant competitor attacks the low end of any market, the rational reaction of the incumbent firms is to abandon rather than defend it - because the low end is the least profitable of their possible investments.
I made a tremendous amount of money on real estate. I'll take real estate rather than go to Wall Street and get 2.8 percent. Forget about it.
I'm more attracted to a stronger man rather than a feminine man. Someone who would just throw me down and take control. I love feeling helpless. I definitely like a man who is aggressive and confident.
