Text Quotes
If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them (Refuse Quotes)
It’s an odd thing but when you tell someone the true facts of a mythical tale they are indignant not with the teller but with you. They don’t want to have their ideas upset. It rouses some vague uneasiness in them, I think, and they resent it. So they reject it and refuse to think about it. If they were merely indifferent it would be natural and understandable. But it is much stronger than that, much more positive. They are annoyed. Very odd, isn’t it (Refuse Quotes)
I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. These properties we can only speak of when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view (Refuse Quotes)
As a composer, I believe that music has the power to inspire a renewal of human consciousness, culture, and politics. And yet I refuse to make political art. More often than not political art fails as politics, and all too often it fails as art. To reach its fullest power, to be most moving and most fully useful to us, art must be itself (Refuse Quotes)
For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography (Refuse Quotes)
We shall not refuse tobacco the credit of being sometimes medical, when used temperately, though an acknowledged poison (Refuse Quotes)
Make bold moves toward your dreams each day, refuse to stop and nothing can stop you (Refuse Quotes)
The imitator treads a beaten walk, and with all his diligence can only find a few flowers or branches untouched by his predecessor, the refuse of contempt, or the omissions of negligence (Refuse Quotes)
Today we haven’t the heart to expel the painters and poets from society because we refuse to admit to ourselves that there is any danger in keeping them in our midst (Refuse Quotes)
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man’s opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults (Refuse Quotes)
Man is not free to refuse to do the thing which gives him more pleasure than any other conceivable action (Refuse Quotes)
I refuse to be misled by any kind of a mirage about any alleged success of what I write. Those things are too easily exaggerated, and even when they are true, they always mean less than they seem to (Refuse Quotes)
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 (Refuse Quotes)
If you make me your authority, you harm yourself because you will not see things for yourself, and you harm me too because you refuse to see me as I am (Refuse Quotes)
If we are ready to tolerate everything as understood, there is nothing left to explain; while if we sourly refuse to take anything, even tentatively, as clear, no explanation can be given (Refuse Quotes)
I refuse to be in this world by myself. I want an open commitment from the rest of the people (Refuse Quotes)
A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it (Refuse Quotes)
...a pie so delicate, so luscious, that I hope to be propped up on my dying bed and fed a generous portion. Then I think that I should refuse outright to die, for life would be too good to relinquish (Refuse Quotes)
Somebody is going to win and somebody is not, and that’s fine... But we will never refuse to participate because we’re scared to fail (Refuse Quotes)
We live in this irreparably broken world, and I don’t wish to deny reality, but the amazing thing to me is not that we refuse to relinquish hope as a species. The amazing thing is that we’re right to hold on to hope. The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.... Obviously not all stories end happily. We don’t always have good fortune, but hope gives us, as a species and as individuals, what we otherwise wouldn’t have: A chance (Refuse Quotes)
The more we idealize the past and refuse to acknowledge our childhood sufferings, the more we pass them on unconsciously to the next generation (Refuse Quotes)
If you ever look sideways at another man or attempt to refuse me I shall beat you. Got it? (Refuse Quotes)
He who only writes to suit the taste of the age, considers himself more than his writings. We should always aim at perfection, and then posterity will do us that justice which sometimes our contemporaries refuse us (Refuse Quotes)
When people refuse to speak out for too long, it’s like water that’s stagnant and starts to rot! (Refuse Quotes)
A woman indeed can’t properly be said to choose, all that is allowed her, is to refuse or accept what is offered (Refuse Quotes)
I have to deal with being famous. Sometimes I have to tell people I don’t do autographs, thank you very much. At certain places, I refuse to have my photograph taken (Refuse Quotes)
We are responsible to ourselves for our own existence; consequently we want to be the true helmsman of this existence and refuse to allow our existence to resemble a mindless act of chance (Refuse Quotes)
Even when the facts are available, most people seem to prefer the legend, and refuse to believe the truth when it in any way dislodges the myth (Refuse Quotes)
Mediocre men sometimes fear great office, and when they do not aim at it, or when they refuse it, all that is to be concluded is that they are aware of their mediocrity (Refuse Quotes)
We refuse to have our conscience bound by any work or law, so that by doing this or that we should be righteous, or leaving this or that undone we should be damned (Refuse Quotes)
