Insistence Quotes

The word phobic has its place when properly used, but lately it’s been declawed by the pompous insistence that most animosity is based upon fear rather than loathing.... I hate computers. My hatred is entrenched, and I nourish it daily. I’m comfortable with it, and no community outreach program will change my mind Picture Quote #1

I admire American literature, both contemporary and classic - ‘Moby-Dick’ is just about the best book in the world - and I admire British literature for its insistence on dealing with social class. It may have been an influence Picture Quote #1

The sorcerer’s description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it Picture Quote #1

I think there is a sort of box-ticking mentality. Not just in the teaching profession. You hear about it in medicine and nursing. It’s a lawyer-driven insistence on meeting prescribed standards rather than just being a good doctor Picture Quote #1

The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature. Yet how can anyone speak of it today, with every soul in a prison, with every heart fettered, wounded, and maimed?... With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities? Picture Quote #1

It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy. History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end Picture Quote #1

The underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment Picture Quote #1

Simplicity is no longer presented as a virtue. The value of complex and difficult language has been preached with such insistence that the public has begun to believe the lack of clarity must be a sign of artistic talent Picture Quote #1

I do not know what the cat can have eaten. Usually I know exactly what the cat has eaten. Not only have I fed it to the cat, at the cat’s insistence, but the cat has thrown it up on the rug, and someone has tracked it all over onto the other rug. I do not know why cats are such habitual vomiters. They do not seem to enjoy it, judging by the sounds they make while they are doing it. It’s their nature. A dog is going to bark. A cat is going to vomit Picture Quote #1

Be not held back by fear’s insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt. I am not doubtful, but certain. The miracle is always there. I will see them in the light Picture Quote #1

Only a minute to minute relentless struggle can balance one’s natural but stupefying insistence to remain unchanged Picture Quote #1

Insistence on having a sexual orientation in sex is about defending the status quo, maintaining sex differences and the sexual hierarchy; whereas resistance to sexual orientation, regimentation is more about where we need to be going Picture Quote #1

The people who, during the election, were so wise, so moral, so perfect, now have no tendencies whatever; or if they have any, they are tendencies that lead downward to degradation... If people are as incapable, as immoral, and as ignorant as the politicians indicate, then why is the right of these same people to vote defended with such passionate insistence? Picture Quote #1

The moment of writing is not an escape... it is only an insistence, through the imagination, upon human ecstasy, and a reminder that such ecstasy remains as much a birthright in this world as misery remains a condition of it Picture Quote #1

Smoke veils the air like souls in drifting suspension, declining the war’s insistence everyone move on Picture Quote #1

We try to abolish intervals by our manic insistence on keeping busy, on doing something. And as a result, all we succeed in doing is destroying all hope of tranquility.... You have to learn to immerse yourself in the silences between Picture Quote #1

That hunger of the flesh, that longing for ease, that terror of incarceration, that insistence on tribal honour being obeyed: all of that exists, and it exists everywhere Picture Quote #1

Our incapacity to comprehend other cultures stems from our insistence on measuring things in our own terms Picture Quote #1

Claims of right and insistence upon obligations may depend upon treaty stipulations, or upon the rules of international law, or upon the sense of natural justice applied to the circumstances of a particular case, or upon disputed facts Picture Quote #1

Remember that in every single case in history the process of adaptation has been one of exceeding slowness. Do not look for the impossible, but do not let your path deviate from the quiet and steadfast insistence on full opportunities for your powers Picture Quote #1

I fear their false urgency, their call to speed, their insistence that travel is less important than arrival Picture Quote #1

My illness is due to my doctor's insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies Picture Quote #1

She lived in fear of his shifting moods, his volatile temperament, his insistence on steering even mundane exchanges down a confrontational path that, on occasion, he would resolve with punches, slaps, kicks, and sometimes try to make amends for with polluted apologies, and sometimes not Picture Quote #1

The insistence that the commercialisation of the body is a fit subject for political discussion and intervention is well overdue Picture Quote #1

Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses Picture Quote #1

Advocating women’s rights and greater opportunity for women in the workplace and in every avenue of public life is inconsistent with an insistence on mother taking care of children and housework Picture Quote #1

In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute Picture Quote #1

The mind’s deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man’s unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity Picture Quote #1

Hence my insistence that music and meditation should go together. That adds a new dimension to both. Both are enriched by it Picture Quote #1

I believe that the most essential element of our defense of freedom is our insistence on speaking out for the cause of religious liberty Picture Quote #1
