As long as we can tell stories about our ability to survive, the more we will hope, not self-destruct.

The status quo is simply unacceptable.

Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.

The status quo sucks.

There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.

We preserve the status quo, preserve existing systems.

I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

We do not need more status quo.

We've seen a lot of people self-destruct because of a small taste of success.

I don't think public life in and of itself can destroy you. I think it's the way people react to it, and some people are more sturdy than others... I don't think any one faction can be blamed for a person's self destruction - a certain amount of that has to be innate.
