Ostracism Quotes

I’m not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying. Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away Picture Quote #1

You should read history and look at ostracism, persecution, martyrdom, and that kind of thing. They always happen to the best men, you know Picture Quote #1

The very same brain centers that interpret and feel physical pain also become activated during experiences of emotional rejection. In brain scans, they light up in response to social ostracism, just as they would when triggered by physically harmful stimuli. When people speak of feeling hurt or of having emotional pain, they are not being abstract or poetic, but scientifically quite precise Picture Quote #1

I know as actors our job is usually to shed our skins, but I think as people our job is to become who we really are and so I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived on the margins to become who they really are Picture Quote #1

I had seen how in an instant, those you called friends could suddenly become tormentors, sniffing out a weakness or a difference, turning their own fear of ostracism into a weapon with which they could beat the victim away, afraid that being an outsider, and individual even, was somehow infectious Picture Quote #1

Art is fueled by rebellion: the need, in some amounting to obsessions, to resist what is, to defy one’s elders, even to the point of ostracism; to define oneself, and by extension one’s generation, as new, novel, ungovernable Picture Quote #1

Ostracism means you don’t exist at all. And that’s a very difficult situation to live with. As gay people, we had been chasing ostracism by that point for probably 300 years. You just knew that you should have dropped into your black hole Picture Quote #1

I’m not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying. Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away Picture Quote #1

Popularity gives you power only over people who care about being popular. Ostracism gives you power only over those who fear being ostracized Picture Quote #1

Heterosexuality has been forcibly and subliminally imposed on women. Yet everywhere women have resisted it, often at the cost of physical torture, imprisonment, psychosurgery, social ostracism, and extreme poverty Picture Quote #1

Iris Johansen’s lovers weathered the sack of city states and the vagaries of the French Revolution; Judith McNaught’s heroines endured amnesia, social ostracism and misunderstandings so big they deserved their own ZIP code Picture Quote #1
