Politics is a pendulum whose swings between anarchy and tyranny are fueled by perennially rejuvenated illusions.

Albert Einstein

Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Maybe love is like a pendulum. It swings back and forth, slowly, steadily, and sometimes you don't know where it will come to rest.

Tracey Garvis-Graves

The pendulum swings between Light and Darkness

Brandon Mull

The everyday cares and duties, which men call drudgery, are the weights and counterpoises of the clock of time, giving its pendulum a true vibration and its hands a regular motion; and when they cease to hang upon its wheels, the pendulum no longer swings, the hands no longer move the clock stands still.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It's strange how the human mind swings back and forth, from one extreme to another. Does truth lie at some point of the pendulum's swing, at a point where it never rests, not in the dull perpendicular mean where it dangles in the end like a windless flag, but at an angle, nearer one extreme than another? If only a miracle could stop the pendulum at an angle of sixty degrees, one would believe the truth was there.

Graham Greene

In terms of our democracy, we are sort of shrugging our shoulders and saying, oh dear, Guantánamo, that's so awful, that's so awful, but it's here. The pendulum usually swings from left to right and then right to left, but there are so many people in power who have taken the pendulum and just pinned it to the right that there is a fear that it's never going to swing back.

Dar Williams

Robert Johnson

A scale is only in balance for a brief second. Inevitably the pendulum swings. It's impossible to maintain.

Ivanka Trump

The pendulum of mathematics swings back and forth towards abstraction and away from it with a timing that remains to be estimated.

Gian-Carlo Rota

I am hopeful that the pendulum swings toward seeing immigrants in favorable terms once more.

Andrew Lam

I look fashionable every day. And the pendulum swings between more, or less, edgy when I'm with bankers.

Karen Katz

The country has come a long way in race relations, but the pendulum swings so far back. Everyone wants to be so sensitive.

Clint Eastwood

Every new industry has exuberance in advance of reality. The techies get carried away. There is a period of despair. Then the pendulum swings the other way, and people see the long term potential. It's like when the Internet bubble crashed.

Steve Jurvetson

If the pendulum swings, it may swing to a combination of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats and, thus, to a period of minority government or coalition, in some form.

Vince Cable

Our culture is just a series of checks and balances. The whole idea that we're in a battle between tyranny and freedom - it's a series of pendulum swings.

Jon Stewart
