Defied Quotes

Power, safely defied, touches its downfall Picture Quote #1

Few things are more laughably pitiable than authority once it has been successfully defied Picture Quote #1

I defied nothing at all. I ignored the law because I didn’t know it existed. It didn’t occur to me that anyone would want to curb my inspiration Picture Quote #1

I was enthralled and moved by Azar Nafisi’s account of how she defied, and helped others to defy, radical Islam’s war against women. Her memoir contains important and properly complex reflections about the ravages of theocracy, about thoughtfulness, and about the ordeals of freedom-as well as a stirring account of the pleasures and deepening of consciousness that result from an encounter with great literature and with an inspired teacher Picture Quote #1

[Young people] are much less likely to express attitudes that defied us between us and them. They see themselves as part of a global economy that they can navigate successfully Picture Quote #1

First, we could have defied both of them and could have gone to war against both of these nations for this violation of international law and interference with our neutral rights Picture Quote #1

I’ve jumped out of an airplane 34 times. I’ve dove 212 feet under water. I’ve done a lot of things that defied death Picture Quote #1

Language pedants hew to an oral tradition of shibboleths that have no basis in logic or style, that have been defied by great writers for centuries, and that have been disavowed by every thoughtful usage manual Picture Quote #1

The reverence for the deeds of our ancestors is a treacherous sentiment. Their merit was not to reverence the old, but to honor the present moment; and we falsely make them excuses of the very habit which they hated and defied Picture Quote #1

There have been too many events in my life, and in the lives of my friends, which have defied any kind of scientific explanation. Science does not have appropriate tools for the dissection of the spirit Picture Quote #1

He was so tenacious he defied the distraction of women by refusing to have them in his presence, just as later in life he denied his blindness by calling for more and more candles Picture Quote #1

I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough Picture Quote #1

People choose the paths that grant them the greatest rewards for the least amount of effort. That's the law of nature, and you defied it Picture Quote #1
