Against Quotes

I manage because I have to. Because I’ve no other way out. Because I’ve overcome the vanity and pride of being different, I’ve understood that they are a pitiful defense against being different. Because I’ve understood that the sun shines differently when something changes. The sun shines differently, but it will continue to shine, and jumping at it with a hoe isn’t going to do anything Picture Quote #1

Some foreign states will act against a dictatorship only to gain their own economic, political, or military control over the country Picture Quote #1

As soon as you choose to fight with violence you’re choosing to fight against your opponents best weapons and you have to be smarter than that Picture Quote #1

One can’t say how one behaved or why, really. Such situations, they are far more complex than any either/or proposition. It is simplistic to produce events in pairs and lean them against each other like cards. I suppose if you a playing go or shogi, then such a thing might be helpful, but that is not life Picture Quote #1

I think people really need to think what it’s like to have all of society arrayed against you Picture Quote #1

I once heard someone say that prayer is more than words. It’s a stance you take, a position you claim. You throw your body against the door to keep the demons from advancing and stay put until they go away Picture Quote #1

A lot of people give up when the world seems to be against them, but that’s the point when you should push a little harder. I use the analogy of running a race. It seems as though you can’t carry on, but if you just get through the pain barrier, you’ll see the end and be okay. Often, just around the corner is where the solution will happen Picture Quote #1

Each thing organizes the space around it, rebuffing or sidling up against other things; each thing calls, gestures, beckons to other beings or battles them for our attention; things expose themselves to the sun or retreat among the shadows, shouting with their loud colors or whispering with their seeds; rocks snag lichen spores from the air and shelter spiders under their flanks; clouds converse with the fathomless blue and metamorphose into one another; they spill rain upon the land, which gathers in rivulets and carves out canyons… Picture Quote #1

Temptations will no more prevail over a contented man, than a dart that is thrown against a brazen wall Picture Quote #1

I believe we are slowly turning into a socialist government. The government is continually growing bigger and more powerful and the people need to prepare to defend themselves against government control Picture Quote #1

If we cannot make a profit, that means we are committing a sort of crime against society. We take society’s capital, we take their people, we take their materials, yet without a good profit, we are using precious resources that could be better used elsewhere Picture Quote #1

With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature Picture Quote #1

There is one act par excellence which profanes money by going directly against the law of money, an act for which money is not made. That act is giving Picture Quote #1

It seems so much easier in these days to live morally than to live beautifully. Lots of us manage to exist for years without ever sinning against society, but we sin against loveliness every hour of the day Picture Quote #1

Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion, and the surest of all guards against improbity Picture Quote #1

Avoid failing, not only against purity, but even against the least rules of an exact modesty Picture Quote #1

I am proud to be a vegetarian and I am against those who eat meat. Go green to be fit, that’s the best way for me at least Picture Quote #1

I believe that the time given to refutation in philosophy is usually time lost. Of the many attacks directed by many thinkers against each other, what now remains? Nothing, or assuredly very little. That which counts and endures is the modicum of positive truth which each contributes. The true statement is, of itself, able to displace the erroneous idea, and becomes, without our having taken the trouble of refuting anyone, the best of refutations Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people hurt us unintentionally. We may view that they’ve hurt us intentionally and want revenge. But sometimes when we really look back again, we can see that they weren’t intentional in trying to hurt us. That’s when we need to confess our judgment of them and forgive them for their unintentional hurts committed against us Picture Quote #1

Western governments... will lose the war against dealers unless efforts are switched to prevention and therapy... All penalties for drug users should be dropped... Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous... Every year we seize more and more drugs and arrest more and more dealers but at the same time the quantity available in our countries still increases... Police are losing the drug battle worldwide Picture Quote #1

My government will continue mounting a real fight against the trafficking of marijuana and all other drugs Picture Quote #1

You’ve got criminal courts and child welfare officials refusing to do their jobs and protect children so they can shift the cases over to family court where predatory professionals can turn a dirty buck off the atrocities committed against children Picture Quote #1

We feel led to caution... against forming the bad habit of incurring debt and taking upon themselves obligations which frequently burden them heavier than they can bear, and lead to the loss of their homes and other possessions. We know it is the fashion of the age to use credit to the utmost limit... We, therefore, repeat our counsel... to shun debt. Be content with moderate gains, and be not misled by illusory hopes of acquiring wealth... Let our children also be taught habits of economy, and not to indulge in tastes which they cannot gratify without running into debt Picture Quote #1

The teaching of any science, for purposes of liberal education, without linking it with social progress and teaching its social significance, is a crime against the student mind. It is like teaching a child how to pronounce words but not what they mean Picture Quote #1

At times some people use force or fraud to take from others without willful, voluntary consent. Normally, the initiation of force to take life is murder, to take liberty is slavery, and to take property is theft. It is the same whether these actions are done by one person acting alone, by the many acting against a few, or even by officials with fine hats and titles Picture Quote #1

Information technology alone cannot provide us an absolute shield against its evil twin disinformation technology. Our only protection is law, and that protection is available to us only if legitimate governments have the power to govern Picture Quote #1

Although I am a strong political conservative, I now believe that the costs of our fruitless struggle against illegal drugs are not worth the modest benefits likely to be achieved Picture Quote #1

A freedom or pleasure that rests on someone else’s slavery or misery cannot finally satisfy the self because it is a limitation or narrowing of the self, an admission of impotence, an offense against generosity and justice. Our freedom depends on other people’s freedom, for our fates are inextricably interwoven with others’, especially with those we love Picture Quote #1

I warn you against shedding blood, indulging in it and making a habit of it, for blood never sleeps Picture Quote #1

If people base their identity on identifying with authority, freedom causes anxiety. They must then conceal the victim in themselves by resorting to violence against others Picture Quote #1
