Text Quotes
The primary nature of every human being is to be open to life and love. Being guarded, armoured, distrustful and enclosed is second nature in our culture. It is the means we adopt to protect ourselves against being hurt, but when such attitudes become characterological or structured in the personality, they constitute a more severe hurt and create a greater crippling than the one originally suffered (Against Quotes)
I don’t make friends with the girls I’m playing against. It would be too painful to beat them (Against Quotes)
Heaven and happiness do not exist. That is your parents’ way to justify the crime of having brought you into this world. What exists is reality, the tough reality, this slaughterhouse we’ve come to die in, if not to kill and to eat the animals, our fellow creatures. Therefore, do not reproduce, do not repeat the crimes committed against you, do not give back the same, evil paid with evil, as imposing life is the ultimate crime. Do not disturb the unborn, let them be in the peace of nothingness. Anyway we’ll all eventually go back there, so why beat around the bush? (Against Quotes)
To other women the choice of clothes was a form of ingenious exhibition, a shameless seduction. To me, dresses were like a breastplate that I put on to set off to war against this life (Against Quotes)
We know that silence equals consent when atrocities are committed against innocent men, women and children. We know that indifference equals complicity when bigotry, hatred and intolerance are allowed to take root. And we know that education and hope are the most effective ways to combat ignorance and despair (Against Quotes)
Each person is born with an infinite power, against which no earthly force is of the slightest significance (Against Quotes)
Accepting that the odds are against you is the same as accepting defeat before you begin (Against Quotes)
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it (Against Quotes)
Forgiveness is an embrace, across all barriers, against all odds, in defiance of all that is mean and petty and vindictive and cruel in this life (Against Quotes)
Who can protect themselves from betrayal? The day your brother wakes up and plans to do you dirty, there’s no defense against that (Against Quotes)
Believe in yourself and have confidence that you can compete against all odds. Have a vision of what you’d like to accomplish and be able to articulate that vision (Against Quotes)
If once a man delays castling and his king remains in the center, files will open up against him, bishops sweep the board, rooks will dominate the seventh rank, and pawns turn into queens (Against Quotes)
Take a look at me now, cause there’s just an empty space. And you coming back to me is against all odds and that’s what I’ve got to face (Against Quotes)
Maybe I’m a bad feminist, but I am deeply committed to the issues important to the feminist movement. I have strong opinions about misogyny, institutional sexism that consistently places women at a disadvantage, the inequity in pay, the cult of beauty and thinness, the repeated attacks on reproductive freedom, violence against women, and on and on. I am as committed to fighting fiercely for equality as I am committed to disrupting the notion that there is an essential feminism (Against Quotes)
You don’t have to burn books, you don’t have to rebel against teachers to rebel; to rebel is to truly own your own self (Against Quotes)
Gratitude based on a faith that everything that happens or doesn’t happen in your life is for your own best interests. That we live in a purposeful universe. Life is always for you; it is never against you. It is a fact that blessings sometimes come wrapped in fear, pain, and tears. In choosing to practice unconditional gratitude you are choosing to trust the process, to honor your feelings and to place your faith in an outcome of inevitable grace (Against Quotes)
Habits begin to form at the very first repetition. After that there is a tropism toward repetition, for the patterns involved are defenses, bulwarks against time and despair (Against Quotes)
You can be anything you want, but when you go against who you are inside, it doesn’t feel good (Against Quotes)
Mr. Jamrach led me through the lobby and into the menagerie. The first was a parrot room, a fearsome screaming place of mad round eyes, crimson breasts that beat against bars, wings that flapped against their neighbours, blood red, royal blue, gypsy yellow, grass green. The birds were crammed along perches. Macaws hung upside down here and there, batting their white eyes, and small green parrots flittered above our heads in drifts. A hot of cockatoos looked down from on high over the shrill madness, high crested, creamy breasted. The screeching was like laughter in hell (Against Quotes)
In an oppressive society if a group stands up to take care of the lambs, it automatically stands up against the wolves (Against Quotes)
I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction (Against Quotes)
The disease we all have and that we have to fight against all our lives is... the disease of self (Against Quotes)
Perhaps the challenge is to invent the political structure that will give conscience a better chance against authority (Against Quotes)
People feel like the system is rigged against them, and here is the painful part, they’re right. The system is rigged (Against Quotes)
It’s my view that gender is culturally formed, but it’s also a domain of agency or freedom and that it is most important to resist the violence that is imposed by ideal gender norms, especially against those who are gender different, who are nonconforming in their gender presentation (Against Quotes)
The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people (Against Quotes)
Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use that money for human needs (Against Quotes)
I was never promised any special treatment or consideration for fingering star players. I was never coerced to provide information against anyone. All that I was ever told to was to tell the truth to the best of my ability. And that is what I have done (Against Quotes)
The only defense against evil, violent people is good people who are more skilled at violence (Against Quotes)
You can’t escape your own period. Whether you take sides for or against, you’re always in it (Against Quotes)
