Dissent Quotes

Continue to express your dissent and your needs, but remember to remain civilized, for you will sorely miss civilization if it is sacrified in the turbulence of change Picture Quote #1

More truly characteristic of dissent is a dignity, an elevation, of mood and thought and phrase. Deep conviction and warm feeling are saying their last say with knowledge that the cause is lost. The voice of the majority may be that of force triumphant, content with the plaudits of the hour, and recking little of the morrow. The dissenter speaks to the future, and his voice is pitched to a key that will carry through the years Picture Quote #1

The intolerant man will not rely on persuasion, or on the worth of the idea. He would deny to others the very freedom of opinion or of dissent which he so stridently demands for himself. He cannot trust democracy Picture Quote #1

Mere unorthodoxy or dissent from the prevailing mores is not to be condemned. The absence of such voices would be a symptom of grave illness to our society Picture Quote #1

I’m kind of perverse in that I think pessimism is helpful. My pessimism is my own kind of patriotism. My dissent Picture Quote #1

This is an amazing country, for all of its faults. My feeling is, dig in and let’s try to change the world. Dissent is not only your right, it’s your duty Picture Quote #1

The writing you allude to is a form of dissent, but it’s also expressive of the need to evolve beyond what is turgid and stale in contemporary fiction Picture Quote #1

Unlike lions and dogs, we are a dissenting animal. We need to dissent in the same way that we need to travel, to make money, to keep a record of our time on earth and in dream, and to leave a permanent mark. Dissension is a drive, like those drives Picture Quote #1

True leadership will not be measured by the ability to muzzle dissent, or to intimidate and harass political opponents at home. The people of the world want change. They will not long tolerate those who are on the wrong side of history Picture Quote #1

Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man Picture Quote #1

Down through the centuries, this trick has been tried by various establishments throughout the world. They force people to get involved in the kind of examination that has only one aim and that is to stamp out dissent Picture Quote #1

I could never divide myself from any man upon the difference of an opinion, or be angry with his judgment for not agreeing with me in that from which perhaps within a few days I should dissent myself Picture Quote #1

Though dissenters seem to question everything in sight, they are actually bundles of dusty answers and never conceived a new question. What offends us most in the literature of dissent is the lack of hesitation and wonder Picture Quote #1

So instead of acknowledging applause, I stand there unmoving while they take part in the boldest form of dissent they can manage. Silence. Which says we do not agree. We do not condone. All of this is wrong Picture Quote #1

Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter Picture Quote #1

I must dissent emphatically from any proposal to spend any money on preparing a statue of me, more especially at a time when people do not have enough food and clothing Picture Quote #1

If what your country is doing seems to you practically and morally wrong, is dissent the highest form of patriotism? Picture Quote #1

To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist Picture Quote #1

Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it. For it requires that we take the chances of freedom; that the liberating play of reason be brought to bear on events filled with passion; that dissent be allowed to make its appeal for acceptance; that men chance error in their search for the truth Picture Quote #1

A robin said to an angleworm as he ate him I am sorry but a bird has to live somehow the worm being slow witted could not gather his dissent into a wise crack and retort he was effectually swallowed before he could turn a phrase Picture Quote #1

Lonely dissent doesn’t feel like going to school dressed in black. It feels like going to school wearing a clown suit Picture Quote #1

I want to live in a city where dissent is welcomed as much as it’s disliked Picture Quote #1

Managing dissent is about recognizing the value of disagreement, discord and difference Picture Quote #1

In a democracy dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects Picture Quote #1

The right to dissent is the only thing that makes life tolerable for a judge of an appellate court... the affairs of government could not be conducted by democratic standards without it Picture Quote #1

Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard Picture Quote #1

The press exerts the pressure of dissent on officials otherwise inclined to rest content with the congratulations of their retainers Picture Quote #1

She never forgets a slight, real or imagined. She takes caution for cowardice and dissent for defiance. And she is greedy. Greedy for power, for honour, for love Picture Quote #1

What we need is a rebirth of satire, of dissent, of irreverence, of an uncompromising insistence that phoniness is phony and platitudes are platitudinous Picture Quote #1

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it Picture Quote #1
