Text Quotes
It is futile to fight against, if one does not know what one is fighting for  (Against Quotes) I think the thing that I lost in myself when I stopped writing fiction and the thing that I rediscovered and started mining again is, for lack of a better word, magic. It’s the way you can brush up against the inexplicable and the mystical  (Against Quotes) There are three things against which the wise man guards: lust when young, quarrels when strong, and covetousness when old  (Against Quotes) Mengistu seemed to symbolize the revolution. He was the baria, the slave who overthrew the master, the member of the conquered tribe who got even with the conquerors, the poorly educated son of a servant who rose against the intellectual elite  (Against Quotes) The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one’s own  (Against Quotes) In the presence of death I affirm and reaffirm the truth of all that I have said against the superstitions of the world. I would say that much on the subject with my last breath  (Against Quotes) Paternity, paternity. Let’s think about this. This discriminates against the childless. So you get a year off because you produce a brat. If anything if you have a child you should work more because your brat’s going to annoy me at the restaurants  (Against Quotes) A rebellion against a tyrant is only immoral when it hasn’t got a chance  (Against Quotes) A strong egoism is a protection against disease, but in the last resort we must begin to love in order that we may not fall ill, and must fall ill if, in consequence of frustration, we cannot love  (Against Quotes) To rebel or revolt against the status quo is in the very nature of an artist  (Against Quotes) I hit my head against the wall because I don’t want to know all the terrible things that I know about. I don’t want to feel all these wretched things, but they’re in me already. If I don’t get rid of them, I’m not ever going to feel anything else  (Against Quotes) The outrages of the powerful, the insolence of the rich, scorn of the proud, and malice of the uncharitable, all beating against the broken spirit of the unfortunate  (Against Quotes) People who are against hate are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but are a silenced majority, silenced by the corporate media  (Against Quotes) One ought to be against racism and sexism because they are wrong, not because one is black or one is female  (Against Quotes) The best defense against being hurt is to feel good about yourself and the way a person responds to you says more about them, than about you  (Against Quotes) Television is a very highly constructed, and edited, and censored, and tailored, and marketed reality. But I’m not judgemental about it. I don’t have anything against television. I just personally don’t feel curious  (Against Quotes) A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it  (Against Quotes) I don’t want any injustice brought against the bullies. Bullies just don’t know any better. Anyone who is crying about police brutality or victimization as an adult needs to stop it and realize the privileges we have in this country  (Against Quotes) What I have learned lately is that people deal with death in all sorts of ways. Some of us fight against it, doing everything we can to make it not true. Some of us lose our selves to grief. Some of us lose ourselves to anger  (Against Quotes) Knowledge we have. Anyone who strives for it with particular intensity is suspect of striving against it  (Against Quotes) All those who write either explicitly or by insinuation against the dignity, freedom, and immortality of the human soul, may so far forth be justly said to unhinge the principles of morality, and destroy the means of making men reasonably virtuous  (Against Quotes) Sincerity of conviction and purity of motive will surely gain the day; and even a small minority, armed with these, is surely destined to prevail against all odds  (Against Quotes) A full and candid admission of one’s mistakes should make proof against its repetition  (Against Quotes) There’s only one thing you can use against pure logic, and that’s common sense  (Against Quotes) True devotion must not get dispirited; nor elated or satisfied with lesser gains; it must fight against failure, loss, calumny, calamity, ridicule and against egoism and pride, impatience and cowardice  (Against Quotes) The existence of the writer is an argument against the existence of the soul, for the soul has obviously taken flight from the real ego, but not improved itself, only become a writer  (Against Quotes) In times of uncertainty, wait. Always, if you have any doubt, wait. Do not force yourself to any action. If you have a restraint in your spirit, wait until all is clear, and do not go against it  (Against Quotes) Women who bring up children by themselves do it heroically, they do it against all odds, men who don’t feel responsible for being part of their child’s life create real strains on that family  (Against Quotes) Not that I’m against meat eating. But I think we’re eating too much  (Against Quotes) I’m measuring my actions against that inner voice that for me at least is audible, is active, it tells me where I think I’m on track and where I think I’m off track  (Against Quotes)
