David Lammy

The thing about dads is, even when they're very good, they don't do anything like as much as most mums do.

Louise Nurding

Chinese people of my parents' generation who lived through the Cultural Revolution knew so much of death at such a young age, and the psychic toll those experiences left was immense. I knew the stories of the Cultural Revolution before knowing what the Cultural Revolution was.

Jenny Zhang

The current information revolution is a cultural revolution, a social revolution, a thoroughgoing technological revolution that involves not just information, but labor, leisure, entertainment, communication, education, culture and thus is part of a major cultural and social shift.

Bill Gates

Mums ask me how to get their husbands off the couch as well as asking me to marry them. But kids ask me to get their mums and dads to play with them more as well.

With so many forty- and fifty something mums and dads in Converse stalking the streets, I can see why there's a slew of books about the menopause and middle age, the most recent addition being David Bainbridge's plucky, glass-half-full meditation or, as he calls it, 'natural history.'

Rachel Johnson

Biomimicry is innovation inspired by nature. In a society accustomed to dominating or 'improving' nature, this respectful imitation is a radically new approach, a revolution really. Unlike the Industrial Revolution, the Biomimicry Revolution introduces an era based not on what we can extract from nature, but on what we can learn from her.

Janine Benyus

My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads. My children live with me; that is it.

We led the industrial revolution, the White revolution, now its time for a cultural revolution.

Narendra Modi

I want mums and dads to get up together and train with the kids, exercise, have fun together and connect through fitness.

We must instil our future leaders with the expertise, knowledge and skills to prevent climate breakdown and restore nature to health.

Caroline Lucas

Shared parental leave is good for dads. Looking after their newborn on their own is a unique learning experience.

Jo Swinson

The enormous social change involved in a sexual revolution is basically a matter of altered consciousness, the exposure and elimination of social and psychological realities underlying political and cultural structures. We are speaking, then, of a cultural revolution, which, while it must necessarily involve the political and economic reorganization traditionally implied by the term revolution, must go far beyond this as well.
