Text Quotes
The two most common charges against the older fiction, that it pleased wickedly and that it taught nothing, had broken down before the discovery, except in illiberal sects, that the novel is fitted both for honest use and for pleasure  (Against Quotes) It is too great comfort which turns a man against himself. Life is most readily renounced at the time and among the classes where it is least harsh  (Against Quotes) I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules  (Against Quotes) Poems in a way are spells against death. They are milestones, to see where you were then from where you are now. To perpetuate your feelings, to establish them. If you have in any way touched the central heart of mankind’s feelings, you’ll survive  (Against Quotes) If we were brought to trial for the crimes we have committed against ourselves, few would escape the gallows  (Against Quotes) I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We’d lead attacks. We’d break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere  (Against Quotes) Most regular superhero books are designed to go on forever; of course, very few of them do, but the point is they are trying to throw mud against the wall and hope it will stick, and most of it slides off  (Against Quotes) Both the historian and the novelist view history as the struggle of a tiny minority, able and determined to make judgments, which is up against a vast and densely packed majority of the blind, who are led by their instincts and unable to think for themselves  (Against Quotes) The much vaunted male logic isn’t logical, because they display prejudices against half the human race that are considered prejudices according to any dictionary definition  (Against Quotes) Brethren, it is easier to declaim against a thousand sins of others, than to mortify one sin in ourselves  (Against Quotes) I began demonstrating against serious culture. In hindsight, the actual course of events has been very humiliating for me, because no one picked up on the intellectual critique I made  (Against Quotes) Nature generally struggles against this treatment for a while, until her powers seem in a great measure exhausted, when she quietly yields to the power of the art  (Against Quotes) When you reach that elite level, 90 percent is mental and 10 percent is physical. You are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete  (Against Quotes) Most artists have experienced the creative block. We get stuck in our work. We beat our head against the wall: nothing. Sometimes, it is because we are trying something at the wrong time  (Against Quotes) It is because the fight against the harshest aspects of unrestricted capitalism is therefore a political problem and not an intellectual one that community action remains so essential  (Against Quotes) There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about  (Against Quotes) I tend to be attracted to characters who are up against a wall with very few alternatives. And the film then becomes an examination of how they cope with very few options. And that’s, I guess, what interests me in terms of human behavior  (Against Quotes) Take a look at your natural river. What are you? Stop playing games with yourself. Where’s your river going? Are you riding with it? Or are you rowing against it? Don’t you see that there is no effort if you’re riding with your river?  (Against Quotes) A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth  (Against Quotes) You can’t control people. You must understand them. You have to know where they’re coming from, their beliefs and values, what turns them off, what they’re against  (Against Quotes) I just hate the idea of being well known. I know that is almost impossible if you’re an actor who has done okay, but I’ve always fought against it  (Against Quotes) Having children made us look differently at all these things that we take for granted, like taking your child to get a vaccine against measles or polio  (Against Quotes) I remember in particular my first victory when I achieved a very fast time in what were perfect conditions but since then the wind has always been a factor against me  (Against Quotes) When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time  (Against Quotes) My instincts are always against people who want to fasten some sort of hegemony onto things  (Against Quotes) He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it  (Against Quotes) I think any parent that makes their kid sit at a piano against their will and practice, they’re going to have a kid that’s not going to want to play the piano  (Against Quotes) A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They’re up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It’s easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films  (Against Quotes) The first priority of any serious program against poverty is to strengthen the male role in poor families  (Against Quotes) We may be up against a stone wall, but we don’t have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to  (Against Quotes)
