Against Quotes

No one ever wanted to hire me. Ever. I’ve never been recruited anywhere. I have beat my head against every wall, at every place that I worked Picture Quote #1

Ever since I took to the streets when I was 17 to protest at great personal risk against the communist dictatorship, I have been a passionate democrat Picture Quote #1

In business, there’s a constant focus on developing strategies, reviewing executive performance against those strategies each year, engaging with opposing or different points of view, and having intellectual dialogue Picture Quote #1

There’s not as much oxygen in that hot gym and I think it’s great for conditioning. I believe in a lot of boxing. You can train and work on the speed bag and heavy bag, but when you get in the ring with another fighter, it’s a different story. Punches are coming at you, there’s physical contact, muscle against muscle Picture Quote #1

The state of mind of a fighter is so important. I don’t like to see a fighter stay locked up in a room. Sometimes it works against them. They think and they worry. They dwell, sitting in that dark room. You come back and they’re psyched out. I like to see boxers eat and then walk, mingle with people. You have to have a certain amount of movement Picture Quote #1

I’ve found in my own life, if you try to struggle against what the universe is telling you, you set yourself up for more of a battle Picture Quote #1

We have seen enough criminality on the part of government. It is hypocritical to make this allegation against me. They have narrowed the public sphere of influence Picture Quote #1

What solidarity we do find exists despite the society, against all its realities, as an unending struggle between the innate decency of man and the innate indecency of the society. Can we imagine how men would behave if this decency could find full release, if society earned the respect, even the love of the individual? Picture Quote #1

The people who imprinted us are not completely happy and they are not completely powerful. So naturally, we have to fight our whole life against that imprinting Picture Quote #1

If someone else runs faster than you or makes more money than you or is more adept at anything, that doesn’t mean you have lost. You are measuring yourself only against yourself and your tendencies not to do all that you are capable of doing Picture Quote #1

I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that’s part of me. It’s what I judge everything else against Picture Quote #1

We will not overcome world poverty unless we manage climate change successfully. I’ve spent my life as a development economist, and it’s crystal clear that we succeed or fail on winning the battle against world poverty and managing climate change together. If we fail on one, we fail on the other Picture Quote #1

I really just compete against myself. I look at my previous material and try to surpass what I’ve done Picture Quote #1

I’m fighting against the bad poet who is prone to using too many words Picture Quote #1

I would like to, especially in film, play against type and do some heavier stuff. I’m intrigued by projects that deal with problematic people and things Picture Quote #1

Like I said, when you have to play against a great player every night, that defines who you are if you can compete on that same level night in and night out Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We are alive for a certain period of time in any given lifetime. We are competing against time. It is a race to see if we can wake up before we go to sleep again. That is the challenge Picture Quote #1

One cannot have a trade union or a democratic election without freedom of speech, freedom of association and assembly. Without a democratic election, whereby people choose and remove their rulers, there is no method of securing human rights against the state. No democracy without human rights, no human rights without democracy, and no trade union rights without either. That is our belief; that is our creed Picture Quote #1

The devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less Picture Quote #1

Wise men are not pacifists; they are merely less likely to jump up and retaliate against their antagonizers. They know that needless antagonizers are virtually already insecure enough Picture Quote #1

If you have a lot of sweetness and quirkiness, someone’s got to have a little bit of bite against that Picture Quote #1

My position is that serious and good art has always existed to help, to serve, humanity. Not to indict. I don’t see how art can be called art if its purpose is to frustrate humanity. To make humanity uncomfortable, yes. But intrinsically to be against humanity, that I don’t take Picture Quote #1

Fear is bred from ignorance. So knowledge is a weapon against it, and reason is the tool of knowledge Picture Quote #1

Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all Picture Quote #1

This intimacy is not necessary; no one is compelling me to open my inmost self and lay it naked, undefended, against that of another – merely for the joy of the communion Picture Quote #1
