Offends Quotes

Young people have this almost romantic attachment to civil rights, liberties, emancipating people from oppression, etc. The idea that such oppression exists in this country offends me, but it’s able to be pushed and sold because education in this country is so woefully incompetent and inept Picture Quote #1

Earth Day is the first holy day...and is devoted to the harmony of nature... The celebration offends no historical calendar, yet it transcends them all Picture Quote #1

The don’t-ask-don’t-tell approach to plot and character that ‘The Hurt Locker’ relies on to set itself in motion doesn’t offend me politically. It offends me as a storyteller Picture Quote #1

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards because a refusal often offends, I read somewhere Picture Quote #1

I enter into discussion and argument with great freedom and ease, inasmuch as opinion finds me in a bad soil to penetrate and take deep root in.

There is no fancy so frivolous and so extravagant that it does not seem to me quite suitable to the production of the human mind Picture Quote #1

It’s not so much the question that offends me; it’s that the people asking it don’t seem to respect the moral seriousness of the question Picture Quote #1

What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside Picture Quote #1

When the truth offends no one it should come from our lips as naturally as the air we breathe Picture Quote #1

We need to eliminate the existing hierarchy of subjects. Elevating some disciplines over others only reinforces outmoded assumptions of industrialism and offends the principle of diversity. The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student’s education Picture Quote #1

Therefore any cruelty has to be executed at once, so that the less it is tasted, the less it offends; while benefits must be dispensed little by little, so that they will be savored all the more Picture Quote #1

Isn't it interesting that you find nothing blasphemous about seeking to be like the devil, but seeking to be like God offends you Picture Quote #1

The movie cheerfully offends all civilized notions of taste, decorum, manners and hygiene... Is the movie vulgar? Vulgarity is when we don't laugh. When we laugh, it's merely human nature Picture Quote #1

You work your butt off and somebody says you can’t have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff Picture Quote #1

One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don’t matter too much too seriously.

It’s easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I’ve always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland Picture Quote #1

Therefore, as always, make of this voice what you choose to make of it. Make of me what you choose to make of me, but recognize within yourselves the vitality of your being. And look to no man or no idea or no woman or no dogma, but the vitality of your own being, and trust it. And that which offends your soul, turn away from, but trust yourself Picture Quote #1

The problem is that it has become politically awkward to draw attention to absolutes of bad and good. In place of manners, we now have doctrines of political correctness, against which one offends at one’s peril: by means of a considerable circular logic, such offences mark you as reactionary and therefore a bad person. Therefore if you say people are bad, you are bad Picture Quote #1

If you never encounter anything in your community that offends you, then you are not living in a free society Picture Quote #1

Sorry, but retirement offends me. You don’t just stop fighting in the middle of a war because your legs hurt. So why do you get to stop working in the middle of your life just because your prostate hurts? That’s desertion Picture Quote #1

A liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong. This means we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism; it means that we must allow people to err, even where the error offends and upsets, as it often will Picture Quote #1
