I Refuse Quotes

Protest is when I say I don’t like this. Resistance is when I put an end to what I don’t like. Protest is when I say I refuse to go along with this anymore. Resistance is when I make sure everybody else stops going along too Picture Quote #1

I’m a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me Picture Quote #1

I refuse to eat animals because I cannot nourish myself by the sufferings and by the death of other creatures. I refuse to do so, because I suffered so painfully myself that I can feel the pain of others by recalling my own sufferings Picture Quote #1

I am a woman with a foot in both worlds; and I refuse the split. I feel the necessity for dialogue. Sometimes I feel it urgently Picture Quote #1

I’m an artist... The difference is that I don’t tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me Picture Quote #1

I have been offered the highest paid contracts in the world. I refused them all. It’s not my thing. I don’t want to cheat people. And there are certain people I am allergic to.

I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. I don’t mean to be reckless, but setting a goal that seems a bit daunting actually is very helpful toward recovery Picture Quote #1

My sadness is beautiful. It infuses everything I do. It is at the core of my identity and has always been, just as happiness is in some people. I refuse to hold that as a flaw. I will not mute it with medications for the sake of society. I will hold it close to me and celebrate it rightfully while the rest of the world fails to see it for what it is, and it will be their loss Picture Quote #1

I just know that I don’t want cheating. I refuse. I deepened myself but I don’t believe in myself because my thought is invented Picture Quote #1

Criticized for using formal mathematical manipulations, without understanding how they worked: Should I refuse a good dinner simply because I do not understand the process of digestion? Picture Quote #1

I refuse to accept that the world is so poor, when just one week of global spending on armies is enough to bring all of our children into classrooms Picture Quote #1

From this moment forward…I stop the blame game and excuses. I am responsible for my life and for where I am today. I cannot blame the people and circumstances in my past, and I refuse to hide behind my past mistakes Picture Quote #1

I refused to conform to an image that a lot of people thought a president’s brother should adopt Picture Quote #1

I remember being at school during morning meeting and looking around at everybody, 350 kids, saying a prayer.

For some reason I always rejected it, but respectfully Picture Quote #1

Picabia is a very old painter who some people try to connect me to, but I refuse such comparisons very well Picture Quote #1

I’m really happy to be me, and I’d like to think people like me more because I’m happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
