Oppression Quotes

Most of the harm in the world is done by good people, and not by accident, lapse, or omission. It is the result of their deliberate actions, long persevered in, which they hold to be motivated by high ideals toward virtuous ends... when millions are slaughtered, when torture is practiced, starvation enforced, oppression made a policy, as at present over a large part of the world, and as it has often been in the past, it must be at the behest of very many good people, and even by their direct action, for what they consider a worthy object Picture Quote #1

It is my belief that in our mad world where there is so much pain, rivalry, hatred, violence, inequality, and oppression, it is people who are weak, rejected, marginalized, counted as useless, who can become a source of life and of salvation for us as individuals as well as for our world. And it is my hope that each one of you may experience the incredible gift of the friendship of people who are poor and weak, that you too, may receive life from them. For they call us to love, to communion, to compassion and to community Picture Quote #1

Do everything possible so that liberty is victorious over oppression, justice over injustice, love over hate Picture Quote #1

Let’s be gentle with ourselves and each other and fierce as we fight oppression Picture Quote #1

A private faith that does not act in the face of oppression is no faith at all Picture Quote #1

Victims of oppression and injustice don’t need our spasm of passion... they need our legs and lungs of endurance Picture Quote #1

Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression, and violence, and enjoy it to the full Picture Quote #1

Marriage can be a religious thing. It can also be a secular thing. And guess what? Not everyone in the world is of the same religion. Preventing gay people from getting married is not an expression of religious freedom. It’s an expression of religious oppression Picture Quote #1

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression Picture Quote #1

It is the obligation of every person who claims to oppose oppression to resist the oppressor by every means at his or her disposal. Not to engage in physical resistance, armed resistance to oppression, is to serve the interests of the oppressor; no more, no less. There are no exceptions to the rule, no easy out Picture Quote #1

That’s how oppression works. Thousands of otherwise decent people are persuaded to go along with an unfair system because changing it seems like too much bother. The appropriate response when somebody demands a change in that unfair system is to listen, rather than turn away or yell, as a child might, that it’s not your fault. Of course it isn’t your fault. I’m sure you’re lovely. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a responsibility to do something about it Picture Quote #1

Until men learn to celebrate and operate on the feminine aspect of themselves and stop the oppression of women, children, the environment, other species, we don’t have a world to live in. It’s not a world that anyone chooses to live in Picture Quote #1

As such, the least practicable measure of government must be the best. Anything beyond the minimum must be oppression Picture Quote #1

In all history the only bright rays cutting the gloom of oppression have come from men who would rather get hurt than give in Picture Quote #1

I think it’s an enormous blessing to be the child of an immigrant who fled oppression, because you realize how fragile liberty is and how easily it can be taken away Picture Quote #1

You want to free the world, free humanity, from oppression? Look inside, look sideways, look at the hidden violence of language. Never forget that language is where the other, parallel violence, the cruelty exercised on the body, originates Picture Quote #1

This society turns everything it touches into a potential source of progress and exploitation, of drudgery and satisfaction, of freedom and of oppression Picture Quote #1

We live in a world of wars and wars alarms, of famines, of oppression. While there are many wonderful people in this world, you’ll notice one curious fact about them, they all suffer, they all die, and sometimes those who are the nicest seem to suffer the most Picture Quote #1

The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression Picture Quote #1

If a man wishes to rid himself of a feeling of unbearable oppression, he may have to take hashish Picture Quote #1

Revolution that divests itself of ethical values thereby lays the foundation of injustice, deceit, and oppression for the future society Picture Quote #1
