Susan Sontag on change

Ours is an age which consciously pursues health, and yet only believes in the reality of sickness. The truths we respect are those born of affliction.

I envy paranoids; they actually feel people are paying attention to them.

Not all violence is equally reprehensible; not all wars are equally unjust.

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

Benjamin Disraeli1804–1881

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

When you’re through changing, you’re through.

Bruce Fairchild Barton1886–1967
