Oh! th' world's a mere kaleidoscope;
Its pictures, brittle bits of glass,
Coloured of fancy, love, and hope,
That quickly from our vision pass;
When we would fix what we admire,
The subtle atoms swift retire!

C. B. LANGSTON

---

The nature o' things doesn't change, though it seems as if one's own life was nothing but change.

GEORGE ELIOT

---

It is an age of stir and change, a season of new wine and old bottles. Yet, assuredly, in spite of breakages and waste, a wine worth the drinking is all the time being made.

JOHN GALSWORTHY

---

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

MICHAEL JACKSON & LIONEL RICHIE

---

Change moves in spirals, not circles. For example, the sun goes up and then it goes down. But everytime that happens, what do you get? You get a new day. You get a new one. When you breathe, you inhale and you exhale. But every single time that you do that, you're a little bit different then the one before. We're always changing. And its important to know that there are some changes you can't control and that there are others you can.

DAN DUNNE

---

Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change
To something new, to something strange;
Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
To-morrow be to-day.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

---

Those who object to what is new are controlled by the love of what is old.

JOHN DANIEL BARRY

---

To change the name and not the letter,
Is a change for the worst, and not for the better.

ROBERT CHAMBERS

---

The world's a scene of changes, and to be
Constant, in Nature were inconstancy.

ABRAHAM COWLEY

---

Change in all things is sweet.

ARISTOTLE

---

Change isn't always good. Sometimes changing things is a terrible mistake.

BOB BARKER

---

Change happened and you thought it was forever, and immediately there were all the enemies of that change making common cause and meeting in the cloakrooms.

C. J. CHERRYH

---

When people can't abide things as they are, when they can't abide the present, they do one of two things ... either they ... either they turn to a contemplation of the past ... or they set about to ... alter the future. And when you want to change something ... YOU BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

EDWARD ALBEE

---

All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change.

OCTAVIA E. BUTLER

---

Everything is the same as always.

PETER WEISS

---

You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world

DEPECHE MODE

---

It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to what things were instead of letting them be what they are.

DR. MEREDITH GREY

---

How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be.

ELIZABETH LESSER

---

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change?

MARCUS AURELIUS

---

The very word "change" has changed. When I was young--and not just because I was young--we looked forward with confident impatience to change. Planned, controlled, beneficent change would continue to clear slums, sweep up the remains of empire, raise living and educational standards, tidy away--firmly but kindly--the last aboriginals who still raved about martial glory or the pride of wealth. Now, as it seems to me, change is set almost exclusively in the minor key, change seen overwhelmingly as loss.
