At times of constitutional un...

At times of constitutional uncertainty and social division, parliament needs a greater, not a lesser role, in defining our future.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

The genius of the market is s...

The genius of the market is supposed to lie in its ability to allocate society's resources to their most efficient uses without central direction. Labour has long recognised that efficiency doesn't always correspond with what is socially optimal or, in other words, 'fair.'

To describe 'Mutually Assured Destruction' as an 'insurance policy' would be comical if it wasn't such an appalling concept.

We are looking at ways to shift the balance of taxation away from work and on to the practices that are destroying the environment on which a healthy economy depends.

With its brutal empire and legalised slavery, the Roman Republic was hardly a towering beacon of progressive values.

The U.K. could become a global leader in decommissioning skills and technology as we move to a net-zero-carbon economy.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

I know what it's like to feel...

I know what it's like to feel the fear of battle. To be constantly looking over my shoulder and thinking every sound might be a bomb or a bullet. When I served in Afghanistan in 2009 I felt that fear, but I made a choice to serve in the army and I knew I could come home to safety at the end of my tour.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Leadership and punching above...

Leadership and punching above your weight doesn't necessarily always have to mean gunboat diplomacy and bombing other countries into the stone age. It can actually mean leading by example, and helping other countries.

We can't grow as a party, if we're afraid of having difficult conversations.

As in many British organisations, subtle institutionalised discrimination may well prevail. But in all my time in the army I've never experienced overt racism.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

On their deathbed, do people ...

On their deathbed, do people think: 'I wish I'd spent more time with my Ferrari'? Or do they say: 'I wish I'd spent more time watching my kids grow up, I wish I'd spent more time country walking?' It's about the things that matter in life, and how we have an economy that better reflects that.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Labour can and must offer hope: not the falsehood that it will do everything, but the real promise that it can help us help each other.

It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Telling us to obey instinct is...

Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Literature adds to reality, it...

Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Some people feel guilty about ...

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Redeemed humanity is still you...

Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life.
