Text Quotes
It appears to me that those who rely simply on the weight of authority to prove any assertion, without searching out the arguments to support it, act absurdly. I wish to question freely and to answer freely without any sort of adulation. That well becomes any who are sincere in the search for truth  (Authority Quotes) Creativity is an area in which younger people have a tremendous advantage, since they have an endearing habit of always questioning past wisdom and authority  (Authority Quotes) The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poets says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, not should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more. He should know in his writing no country and no city; he should bow to no authority and acknowledge no king. He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred  (Authority Quotes) Act in such a way that your humility may not be weakness, nor your authority be severity. Justice must be accompanied by humility, that humility may render justice lovable  (Authority Quotes) The working masses of men and women, they and they alone, are responsible for everything that takes place, the good things and the bad things. True enough, they suffer most from a war, but it is their apathy, craving for authority, etc., that is most responsible for making wars possible. It follows of necessity from this responsibility that the working masses of men and women, they and they alone, are capable of establishing lasting peace  (Authority Quotes) In fiction there can be no appeal to any authority outside the book itself... the thing has to look true, and that is all. It is not made to look true by simple statement  (Authority Quotes) It can be tempting to blame others for our loss of direction. We get lots of information about life but little education in life from parents, teachers, and other authority figures who should know better from their experience. Information is about facts. Education is about wisdom and the knowledge of how to love and survive  (Authority Quotes) Autonomous state actions will regularly take forms that attempt to reinforce the authority, political longevity, and social control of the state  (Authority Quotes) It is not the part of prudence to neglect that which antiquity in its long experience has approved and which is also taught by apostolic authority  (Authority Quotes) The press, or at least most of it, has lost the passion, the outrage, and the sense of mission that once drove reporters to defy authority and tell the truth  (Authority Quotes) Although one never really knows what one’s associates think of one deep down, I believe I was easy to work with, even though I have the reputation of being authoritative. Still, I’ve always delegated responsibility and authority to other; I’ve always listened to opposing views and suggestions with an open mind  (Authority Quotes) In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all  (Authority Quotes) There is no inherent awakening power in cultural forms that have become dissociated from the wisdom and practicality that gave birth to them. They turn into illusions themselves and become part of the drama of religious culture. Although they can make us happy temporarily, they can’t free us from suffering, so at some point, they become a source of disappointment and discouragement. Eventually, these forms may inspire nothing more than resistance to their authority  (Authority Quotes) I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to the point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people  (Authority Quotes) What identifies an individual as a king is how other people behave towards him. All authority is assumed, and if other people don’t accept your authority then you don’t have it. Perhaps the critical thing to being a convincing figure of authority is actually not to try too hard  (Authority Quotes) When legitimately constituted state authority stands down in the face of armed threats, the very foundation of the republic is in danger  (Authority Quotes) The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis  (Authority Quotes) I try to make art which celebrates doubt and uncertainty. Which provokes answers but doesn’t give them. Which withholds absolute meaning by incorporating parasite meanings. Which suspends meaning while perpetually dispatching you toward interpretation, urging you beyond dogmatism, beyond doctrine, beyond ideology, beyond authority  (Authority Quotes) Experience is, for me, the highest authority. The touchstone of validity is my own experience. No other person’s ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience. It is to experience that I must return again and again, to discover a closer approximation to truth as it is in the process of becoming me  (Authority Quotes) Wild rivers are earth’s renegades, defying gravity, dancing to their own tunes, resisting the authority of humans, always chipping away, and eventually always winning  (Authority Quotes) So many of the models of courage we’ve had, ones that are still taught to boys and girls, are about going out to slay the dragon, to kill. It’s a courage that’s born out of fear, anger, and hate. But there’s this other kind of courage. It’s the courage to risk your life, not in war, not in battle, not out of fear... but out of love and a sense of injustice that has to be challenged. It takes far more courage to challenge unjust authority without violence than it takes to kill all the monsters in all the stories told to children about the meaning of bravery  (Authority Quotes) The accretion of dangerous power does not come in a day. It does come, however slowly, from the generative force of unchecked disregard of the restrictions that fence in even the most disinterested assertion of authority  (Authority Quotes) The spirit of philosophy is one of free inquiry. It suspects all authority. Its function is to trace the uncritical assumptions of human thought to their hiding places, and in this pursuit it may finally end in denial or a frank admission of the incapacity of pure reason to reach the ultimate reality  (Authority Quotes) From 1789, perhaps even before that, it had been the willingness of politicians to exploit either the threat or the fact of violence that had given them the power to challenge constituted authority. Bloodshed was not the unfortunate by product of revolution, it was the source of energy  (Authority Quotes) The pressure to conform to an authority figure or peer group can cause people to behave in shocking ways  (Authority Quotes) The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes; has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. While that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it’s enormously useful in life  (Authority Quotes) A just government maintains a healthy tension between the claims of authority and the claims of liberty  (Authority Quotes) I call that church free which enters into the covenant with the ultimate source of existence. It binds together families and generations, protecting against the idolatry of any human claim to absolute truth or authority  (Authority Quotes) Things like rebellion and resistance to authority are absolutely as much a part of the human experience as love and cars are, and it’s a part that doesn’t get covered very much in pop music  (Authority Quotes) As knowledge increases, the verdict of yesterday must be reversed today, and in the long run the most positive authority is the least to be trusted  (Authority Quotes)
