Disappointment Quotes - Page 23

• The hope that fuels the pursuit of endless economic growth - that billions of consumers in India & China will one day enjoy the lifestyles of Europeans and Americans - is as absurd & dangerous a fantasy as anything dreamt up by Al-Qaeda. It condemns the global environment to early destruction & looks set to create reservoirs of nihilistic rage & disappointment among hundreds of millions of have-nots - the bitter outcome of the universal triumph of Western Modernity, which turns the revenge of the East into something darkly ambiguous, and all its victories truly Pyrrhic.

They back me all the way.

• They'll be days like this" my momma said.
  When you open your hands to catch, and wind up with only blisters and bruises.
  When you try to step out of the phone booth and try to fly , and the very people you want to save, are the ones standing on your cape.
  When your boots will fill with rain, and you'll be up to your knees with disappointment
  And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say "Thank you".
