Text Quotes
We are looking to brands for poetry and for spirituality, because we’re not getting those things from our communities or from each other.  (Naomi Klein Quotes) A term like capitalism is incredibly slippery, because there’s such a range of different kinds of market economies  (Naomi Klein Quotes) I think there is a danger that an environmental crisis can be used in precisely the same way as the terrorist threat can be used in terms of giving up freedom  (Naomi Klein Quotes) When Nike says, just do it, that’s a message of empowerment. Why aren’t the rest of us speaking to young people in a voice of inspiration?  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Despite different cultures, middle-class youth all over the world seem to live their lives as if in a parallel universe. They get up in the morning, put on their Levi’s and Nikes, grab their caps and backpacks, and Sony personal CD players and head for school  (Naomi Klein Quotes) It (the Chinese move to embrace capitalism in 1989) is a mirror of the corporatist state first pioneered in Chile under Pinochet: a revolving door between corporate and political elites who combine their power to eliminate workers as an organized political force. The creation of today’s market society was not the result of a sequence of spontaneous events but rather of state interference and violence  (Naomi Klein Quotes) It has no denim-toned house paint. Levi makes what is essentially a commodity: blue jeans. Its ads may evoke rugged outdoorsmanship, but Levi hasn’t promoted any particular life style to sell other products  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Terrorism doesn’t just blow up buildings; it blasts every other issue off the political map. The spectre of terrorism - real and exaggerated - has become a shield of impunity, protecting governments around the world from scrutiny for their human rights abuses  (Naomi Klein Quotes) GLHR... has used Greenpeace-style media antics to draw more public attention to the plight of sweatshop workers than the multimillion - dollar international trade union movement has achieved in almost a century  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Our economy is at war with many forms of life on earth, including human life. What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction of humanity’s use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it’s not the laws of nature  (Naomi Klein Quotes) We can’t leave everything to the free market. In fact, climate change is, I would argue, the greatest single free-market failure. This is what happens when you don’t regulate corporations and you allow them to treat the atmosphere as an open sewer  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Most of you didn’t think that helping people share books would be a subversive act...Yet the fact is that you have chosen a profession that has become radical.  (Naomi Klein Quotes) A term like capitalism is incredibly slippery, because there’s such a range of different kinds of market economies.  (Naomi Klein Quotes) I think there is a danger that an environmental crisis can be used in precisely the same way as the terrorist threat can be used in terms of giving up freedom.  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn’t filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear.  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Hope has never trickled down, it has always sprung up  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Information is shock resistance. Arm yourself  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Extreme violence has a way of preventing us from seeing the interests it serves  (Naomi Klein Quotes) I am convinced that climate change represents a historic opportunity on an even greater scale  (Naomi Klein Quotes) The parties with the most gain never show up on the battlefield  (Naomi Klein Quotes) People without memory are putty  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Africa is poor because its investors and its creditors are unspeakably rich  (Naomi Klein Quotes) In a world where profit is consistently put before both people and the planet, climate economics has everything to do with ethics and morality  (Naomi Klein Quotes) It is our great collective misfortune that the scientific community made its decisive diagnosis of the climate threat at the precise moment when an elite minority was enjoying more unfettered political, cultural, and intellectual power than at any point since the 1920s  (Naomi Klein Quotes) We can save ourselves, but only if we let go of the myth of dominance and mastery and learn to work with nature  (Naomi Klein Quotes) The deeper message that is resonating with people is that it is possible to build. It is possible to invest in people; it is possible to invest in green infrastructure; it’s possible to change  (Naomi Klein Quotes) It seems to me that our problem has a lot less to do with the mechanics of solar power than the politics of human power-specifically whether there can be a shift in who wields it, a shift away from corporations and toward communities, which in turn depends on whether or not the great many people who are getting a rotten deal under our current system can build a determined and diverse enough social force to change the balance of power  (Naomi Klein Quotes) We are looking to brands for poetry and for spirituality, because we’re not getting those things from our communities or from each other  (Naomi Klein Quotes) Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn’t filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear  (Naomi Klein Quotes) When it comes to paying contractors, the sky is the limit; when it comes to financing the basic functions of the state, the coffers are empty  (Naomi Klein Quotes)
