Against Quotes

I’m not holding you against your will; I’m holding you against your car Picture Quote #1

Luck was with me. I saw no spiders. Luck was against me. I saw no specters Picture Quote #1

In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter Picture Quote #1

He lifted me up and held me close against him, my head on his shoulder. At that moment I loved him. In the morning light he was as golden, as soft, as gentle as myself, and he would protect me Picture Quote #1

It seems to me after a fellow has been mutinied against three or four times, there is something to it besides bad luck Picture Quote #1

In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, pushing against change only makes it push back twice as hard. But even the most bitter fruit may contain something sweet at its core. A taste you would never have encountered if you had not been willing to endure the bitter first Picture Quote #1

Claim your space. Draw a circle of light around it. Push back against the dark. Don’t just survive. Celebrate Picture Quote #1

October 6, 1774 I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them 1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side Picture Quote #1

If you beat your head against the wall, it is your head that breaks and not the wall Picture Quote #1

I ultimately decided to hold my tongue and settle instead for the comfort of ignorance. Not knowing the truth, I retained hope, and that hope I held like a smooth warm stone against my heart Picture Quote #1

A southern moon is a sodden moon, and sultry. When it swamps the fields and the rustling sandy roads and the sticky honeysuckle hedges in its sweet stagnation, your fight to hold on to reality is like a protestation against a first waft of ether Picture Quote #1

Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read. Fought against it for a minute. Then looked out the window at the rain. And gave over. Put myself entirely in the keep of this rainy morning. Would I live my life over again? Make the same unforgivable mistakes? Yes, given half a chance. Yes Picture Quote #1

Enormous and solid but swaying, beaten by the wind but chained, murmur of a million leaves against my window. Riot of trees, surge of dark green sounds. The grove, suddenly still, is a web of fronds and branches Picture Quote #1

Colours change: in the morning light, red shines out bright and clear and the blues merge into their surroundings, melting into the greens; but by the evening the reds loose their piquancy, embracing a quieter tone and shifting toward the blues in the rainbow. Yellow flowers remain bright, and white ones become luminous, shining like ghostly figures against a darkening green background Picture Quote #1

Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky. They are people who say: This is my community, and it’s my responsibility to make it better Picture Quote #1

We are at a good level. Our secret is that we play the same way against each opponent Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness essentially means giving up your right to make other people pay for the wrongs they have committed against you Picture Quote #1

It is better to give love. Hatred is a low and degrading motion and is so poisonous that no man is strong enough to use it safely. The hatred we think we are directing against some person or thing or system has a devilish way of turning back upon us. When we seek revenge we administer slow poison to ourselves. When we administer affection it is astonishing what magical results we obtain Picture Quote #1

In running it is man against himself, the cruelest of opponents. The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies within him, in his ability with brain and heart to master himself and his emotions Picture Quote #1

Don’t be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against, not with, the wind Picture Quote #1

That’s my only defense against this world: to build a sentence out of it Picture Quote #1

So great are the psychological restistances to war in modern nations, that every war must appear to be a war of defence against a menacing, murderous aggressor. There must be no ambiguity about whom the public is to hate. Guilt and guilelessness must be assessed geographically and all the guilt must be on the other side of the frontier Picture Quote #1

Agrofuel is a crime against humanity and I believe there should be a moratorium put in place until there is some way to eradicate the many problems it creates Picture Quote #1

Occupying my mind with complex problems has been my best and most powerful and most reliable defense against my mental illness Picture Quote #1

The substance of what it means to be a geek is essentially someone who’s brave enough to love something against judgment. The heart of being a geek is a little bit of rejection Picture Quote #1

Human beings are good, they have shadow, every single one of us has redeeming qualities and every single one of us has qualities that people can hold against us. That’s what makes us human Picture Quote #1

Im very into dark colors. I try to rock the dark against the ghost white skin as much as humanly possible Picture Quote #1

Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against Picture Quote #1

Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can’t see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It’s just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal Picture Quote #1
