Text Quotes
She was fluent in four languages and yet her fists against the rusted hood were the fullest articulation of her defeat  (Against Quotes) That’s the problem with all of this. No matter how hard I try, I can’t make it perfect. I can’t keep it in a bottle, can’t ignore reality. Chemicals are involved, the kind scientists try to synthesize and put into pill form, and they’re making tremendous advances every day. They’re winning the war against love. It’s probably inevitable now. There are only two ways to see the world: either no one and nothing is connected to anything, or we are all a random series of carbon molecules connected to each other. Tell me if there’s room for love in either of those scenarios  (Against Quotes) When I haven’t been kissed in a long time, I create civil disturbances, then insult the cops who show up, till one of them grabs me by the collar and hurls me up against the squad car, so I can remember, at least for a moment, what it’s like to be touched  (Against Quotes) The weak are dominated by their ego, the wise dominate their ego, and the intelligent are in a constant struggle against their ego  (Against Quotes) Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read. Fought against it for a minute. Then looked out the window at the rain. And gave over. Put myself entirely in the keep of this rainy morning. Would I live my life over again? Make the same unforgivable mistakes? Yes, given half a chance. Yes  (Against Quotes) Enormous and solid but swaying, beaten by the wind but chained, murmur of a million leaves against my window. Riot of trees, surge of dark green sounds. The grove, suddenly still, is a web of fronds and branches  (Against Quotes) To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform  (Against Quotes) The human race has entered a stage where we are all dependent on each other. No other country or nation should be regarded in total separation from another, let alone pitted against another  (Against Quotes) The case against the notion of historical objectivity is like the case against international law, or international morality; that it does not exist  (Against Quotes) History is the torch that is meant to illuminate the past, to guard us against the repetition of our mistakes of other days. We cannot join in the rewriting of history to make it conform to our comfort and convenience  (Against Quotes) The pens which write against disarmament are made with the same steel from which guns are made  (Against Quotes) We have learned that change cannot come through war. War is not a feasible tool to use in fighting against the oppression we face. War has caused more problems. We cannot embrace that path  (Against Quotes) If you allow a political catchword to go on and grow, you will awaken some day to find it standing over you, arbiter of your destiny, against which you are powerless  (Against Quotes) The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance. The growth of democracy; the growth of corporate power; and the growth of corporate propaganda against democracy  (Against Quotes) I resolutely believe that respect for diversity is a fundamental pillar in the eradication of racism, xenophobia and intolerance. There is no excuse for evading the responsibility of finding the most suitable path toward the elimination of any expression of discrimination against indigenous peoples  (Against Quotes) If we watch ourselves honestly we shall often find that we have begun to argue against a new idea even before it has been completely stated  (Against Quotes) When you haven’t forgiven those who’ve hurt you, you turn back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward  (Against Quotes) The quest for slowness, which begins as a simple rebellion against the impoverishment of taste in our lives, makes it possible to rediscover taste  (Against Quotes) Accepting the key premise that the learner is the primary customer of schooling means others follow naturally... The core business of schooling is learning, and the quality of learning experienced by all learners should be the standard against which performance is measured  (Against Quotes) Colours change: in the morning light, red shines out bright and clear and the blues merge into their surroundings, melting into the greens; but by the evening the reds loose their piquancy, embracing a quieter tone and shifting toward the blues in the rainbow. Yellow flowers remain bright, and white ones become luminous, shining like ghostly figures against a darkening green background  (Against Quotes) There is only one world; the world pressing against you at this minute. There is only one minute in which you are alive; this minute here and now. The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle  (Against Quotes) ... all human beings have a right, and duty, to be joyful. Anything that thwarts this spiritual human right goes against the very purpose of human being. Spirituality mandates us to wage a relentless war to eradicate these forces of oppression and disempowerment  (Against Quotes) Spirituality is that attitude which puts life at the center, and defends and promotes life against all the mechanisms of death, desiccation, or stagnation  (Against Quotes) I continually find it necessary to guard against that natural love of wealth and grandeur which prompts us always, when we come to apply our general doctrine to our own case, to claim an exception  (Against Quotes) Of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trial by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms... If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny  (Against Quotes) Not every bad break is negative in the long term; not every problem is a bona fide injustice; and not every injustice is major when juxtaposed against the millions of injustices that occur daily throughout the world  (Against Quotes) I never feel more alive than when I’m in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring it!  (Against Quotes) The test of an outfielder’s skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch  (Against Quotes) Half the spiritual life consists of remembering what we are up against and where we are going  (Against Quotes) Is this dying? Is this all? Is this what I feared when I prayed against a hard death? Oh, I can bear this! I can bear this!  (Against Quotes)
