3 Cass Elliot Quotes on Change

Cass Elliot quotes on change

2. I think I would like to be a Senator or something in twenty years. I don't think I really know enough yet. I'm just 30 now and I wouldn't even be eligible to run for office for another five years. But I have a lot of feelings about things. I know the way I would like to see things for this country and in my travels, when I talk to people, everybody wants pretty much the same thing: peace, enough jobs, no poverty and good education. And I've learned a lot. It's funny. So many people in show business go into politics, and I used to say 'What the heck do they know about it?' But when you travel around, you really do get to feel - not to be cliche - the pulse of the country and what people want. I'm concerned and it's not good to be unconcerned and just sit there.

17. I think the most successful way to overthrow any government is through infiltration. It's been proven for years. The dream, of course, is that there is going to be a fantastic cataclysm, and that tomorrow we have Adlai Stevenson in the White House. That's not going to happen, and not because Adlai Stevenson is dead. The reason it's not going to happen is that kind of overthrow is not possible. So I will work in the only way I know how, and that is within the establishment - because that is the only existing program. Let someone come up with another one and if it's good I'd do it in a second.

20. I've always been so apathetic. I figured okay, maybe the world is going to fall down around me. Now I feel: maybe that's motherhood, too. I want to make a better world, I want to make sure she has some place to walk around.
