Opinions Quotes

I don’t read reviews and I don’t know what to do with opinions, so I just lose them. They take up space, they become a process of manufacturing a persona, which I want to avoid Picture Quote #1

Hawaii is a special place because we have a very diverse population there, who are very respectful and tolerant of those who have differing opinions and different views Picture Quote #1

My opinions of which of my works are good are vastly different than other people’s. There is one that I’m obsessed with but I swear... no one else has ever even commented on it. So I’m a bit shy to draw attention to it Picture Quote #1

Believe in your own identity and your own opinions. Proceed with confidence, generating it, if necessary, by pure willpower. Writing is an act of ego and you might as well admit it. Use its energy to keep yourself going Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned that no matter what I do, people are going to have their opinions Picture Quote #1

Everybody is going to have an opinion on you; not everyone is going to like you. You can’t live your life based on other people’s opinions of you or let that change what you do or how you feel about yourself, because then you’re not living Picture Quote #1

I don’t even give my scripts to friends because I just feel it’s, like, I don’t need one more set of opinions Picture Quote #1

Senses of humor define people, as factions, deeper rooted than religious or political opinions. When carrying out everyday tasks, opinions are rather easy to set aside, but those whom a person shares a sense of humor with are his closest friends. They are always there to make the biggest influence Picture Quote #1

I know I’m not a bully and everybody has their opinions and that’s fine with me Picture Quote #1

I like being involved in the lighter side of journalism because it serves a purpose, and it’s fun. And I can keep my opinions off camera if I want Picture Quote #1

When you’re a writer, you hear your internal critic, and that’s really hard to get over. And then sometimes you hear critiques from classmates and stuff. But when a book comes out, it’s just hundreds of opinions and you have to learn to separate out the ones you want to listen to or figure out many you want to listen to Picture Quote #1

I don’t shy away from any questions. I’m not scared of any question. I’ll give you an answer. A lot of people are scared of having actual opinions out there. People are so scared of criticism I’m not scared of people disliking me Picture Quote #1

If novels and stories are bulletins from the progressive states of ignorance a writer passes through over the years, observations and opinions about horses are all the more so, since horses are more mysterious than life and harder to understand Picture Quote #1

People have opinions about everything and especially when you get into that world of animal rights or tree rights or whatever rights, they all have an opinion Picture Quote #1

I’m really not interested in other people’s opinions, because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts Picture Quote #1

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man’s. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself? Picture Quote #1

I’m a vague, conjunctured personality, more made up of opinions and academic prepossessions than of human traits and red corpuscles Picture Quote #1

The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients Picture Quote #1

Be eager to lend a patient ear to the opinions of others and think long and hard whether whoever finds fault has reason or not to censure you. And if the answer is yes, correct the fault. If no, give the impression that you have not heard him, or if he is a man whom you respect, explain to him why he is mistaken Picture Quote #1

Subconsciously the genius is feared as an image breaker; frequently he does not accept the opinions of the mass, or man’s opinion of himself Picture Quote #1

It is as certain that many opinions, now general, will be rejected by future ages, as it is that many, once general, are rejected by the present Picture Quote #1

There is never any fair and thorough discussion of heretical opinions... The greatest harm done is to those who are not heretics, and whose whole mental development is cramped and their reason cowed, by the fear of heresy Picture Quote #1

There are a great many opinions in this world, and a good half of them are professed by people who have never been in trouble Picture Quote #1

We change our opinions of ourselves so often. What the outside world thinks is only a small part of our image Picture Quote #1

The writer’s first job is not to have opinions but to tell the truth... and refuse to be an accomplice of lies and misinformation. Literature is the house of nuance and contrariness against the voices of simplification Picture Quote #1

There are innumerable instances suggesting that modern intellectuals do not believe themselves, that they don’t really believe what they say, that they say certain things only in order to assure themselves that they possess opinions and ideas that are different from those that are entertained by the common herd of men Picture Quote #1

It’s a good thing to learn early that other people’s opinions do not matter, unless they happen to be true Picture Quote #1

Those who differ most from the opinions of their fellow men are the most confident of the truth of their own Picture Quote #1
