Oppression Quotes

Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full Picture Quote #1

In the unceasing ebb and flow of justice and oppression we must all dig channels as best we may, that at the propitious moment somewhat of the swelling tide may be conducted to the barren places of life Picture Quote #1

For a girl, appearance can be a powerful form of oppression. No matter how intelligent a girl may be, no matter her many talents, these attributes are not easily discerned. Brains and talent will never stand up against a girl who is clearly physically attractive Picture Quote #1

People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows Picture Quote #1

In the real world, equal respect for all cultures doesn’t translate into a rich mosaic of colorful and proud peoples interacting peacefully while maintaining a delightful diversity of food and craftwork. It translates into closed pockets of oppression, ignorance, and abuse Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

... 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 Picture Quote #1

Government is the assumption of authority over a given area and all within it, exercised generally for the double purpose of more complete oppression of its subjects and extension of its boundaries Picture Quote #1

True religion is a revolutionary force: it is an inveterate enemy of oppression, privilege, and injustice Picture Quote #1

Let us never cease to feel compassion for those in want. Let us never tire of helping victims of injustice and oppression. He who puts his faith in the restoration of human dignity cannot be wrong Picture Quote #1

Those who have suffered, who have known poverty or oppression, are generally the most prone to kindness. Perhaps it is well to endure some misery if only to learn this lesson Picture Quote #1

Never forget that turning a blind eye to oppression and watching from the sidelines is itself opression Picture Quote #1

You don’t know what order with freedom means! You only know what revolt against oppression is! You don’t know that the rod, discipline, violence, the state and government can only be sustained because of you and because of your lack of socially creative powers that develop order within liberty! Picture Quote #1

Not only do we naturalize history, but also consequently we naturalize the social phenomena which express our oppression, making change impossible Picture Quote #1

Liberty is not less a blessing, because oppression has so long darkened the mind that it can not appreciate it Picture Quote #1

Pride in what and who you are is a strong foundation, but don’t be defined by your oppression; use your anger, don’t let it use you Picture Quote #1

We are a conspiracy of hope and we are pressing back against the strong tide of oppression which for centuries has been the legacy of those of us who are labelled with mental illness. We are refusing to reduce human beings to illnesses Picture Quote #1

Black men and women who refuse to live under oppression are dangerous to white society because they become symbols of hope to their brothers and sisters, inspiring them to follow their example Picture Quote #1

Intolerance of oppression, the desire to be free and develop one personality to its full limits, is not enough to make one an anarchist. That aspiration towards unlimited freedom, if not tempered by a love for mankind and by the desire that all should enjoy equal freedom, may well create rebels who soon become exploiters and tyrants Picture Quote #1

For there is no sex. There is but sex that is oppressed and sex that oppresses. It is oppression that creates sex and not the contrary Picture Quote #1

Female heterosexuality is not a biological drive or an individual women’s erotic attraction or attachment to another human animal which happens to be male.

Let no man dare, when I am dead. to charge me with dishonor; let no man attaint my memory by believing that I could have engaged in any cause but that of my country’s liberty and independence, or that I could have become the pliant minion of power in the oppression or the miseries of my countrymen Picture Quote #1

Where constraint breaks people, and mediation makes fools of them, the seduction of power is what makes them love their oppression. Because of it, people give up their real riches for a cause that mutilates them; for an appearance that reifies them; for roles that wrest them from authentic life; for a time whose passage defines and confines them Picture Quote #1

To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression Picture Quote #1

The task of resisting our own oppression does not relieve us of the responsibility of acknowledging our complicity in the oppression of others Picture Quote #1

Neither the chains of dictatorship nor the fetters of oppression can keep down the forces of freedom for long Picture Quote #1

Let me tell you humans something. You are not fighters. You don’t have what it takes to actually change your current living situations. You can’t even organize a decent group to combat oppression. How can beings of such low stature hope to do anything? You are not heroes. Stop pretending you are helping by playing commando and get out of the way of someone who can Picture Quote #1
