Opposed Quotes

Only those who are ideologically opposed to military programs think of the defense budget as the first and best place to get resources for social welfare needs Picture Quote #1

The most significant piece of advice my father gave me early on about acting was, don’t get caught acting. Really believe in what you’re doing and then commit to it. Even if it feels uncomfortable, even if you feel that you’re gonna look like an ass. It’s all acting, but find the truth in a moment as opposed to just pretending you have and rather than trying to act your way out of it Picture Quote #1

And historically the owners have used loyalty to a team or a city to hold players as opposed to always paying their worth Picture Quote #1

Our show is less about a girl who is doing miracles and more about the domino effect of this girl’s life, and how everyone else is affected. Our show seems to be a questioning show as opposed to an action sort of fairy tale Picture Quote #1

We need an opposition to remind us if we are making mistakes. When you are not opposed you think everything you do is right Picture Quote #1

This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural Picture Quote #1

Capitalism attacks and destroys all the finer sentiments of the human heart; it ruthlessly sweeps away old traditions and ideas opposed to its progress, and it exploits and corrupts those things once held sacred Picture Quote #1

Award trophies, as opposed to letting the players define and claim their own. Ultimately, pay them to play so that their activity not only resembles work but is work Picture Quote #1

Many individual growers now are growing organic fruit, and many are taking it upon themselves to market their own products to the public, as opposed to necessarily going through big processors, although, obviously, the bulk of the fruit still is dealt with that way Picture Quote #1

Bourgeois society is not fundamentally opposed to the bourgeois women’s movement, which is proven by the fact that in various states reforms of private and public laws concerning women have been initiated Picture Quote #1

My position has always been that there’s two types of people opposed to pornography: those who don’t know what they’re talking about, and those who don’t know what they’re missing Picture Quote #1

Sooner or later in life everyone discovers that perfect happiness is unrealizable, but there are few who pause to consider the antithesis: that perfect unhappiness is equally unattainable. The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: they derive from our human condition which is opposed to everything infinite Picture Quote #1

Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face Picture Quote #1

However fiercely opposed one may be to the present order, an old respect for the idea of order itself often prevents people from distinguishing between order and those who stand for order, and leads them in practice to respect individuals under the pretext of respecting order itself Picture Quote #1

The idealist’s program of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable Picture Quote #1

The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit Picture Quote #1

When I think of work, it’s mostly about having control over your destiny, as opposed to being at the mercy of what’s out there Picture Quote #1

I’m not attracted to naturalism, I’m not attracted to behavior, I’m attracted to dance. I’m attracted to gesture, I’m attracted to singing with your voice, as opposed to having a natural manner. I’m a theater actor first, so that probably influences a lot of my approach. And I think in many ways, naturalism has ruined movies Picture Quote #1

People always want to pin yesterday’s news on you, as opposed to asking you what you’re going to do for the future, what you’re doing today Picture Quote #1

Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor Picture Quote #1

The fact that you can love something that you’ve lost is all the incentive you need to love again, as opposed to becoming comfortably numb Picture Quote #1

I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case Picture Quote #1

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It’s very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer Picture Quote #1

I’m an anarchist. I’m implacably opposed to heirarchical systems of power and control. I also mistrust crowds, as they often operate according to their lowest common denominator. In terms of evolutionary psychology, the crowd is very close to a herd of stampeding wildebeest Picture Quote #1

Most of my success, I feel, comes from being a good editor as opposed to a great writer Picture Quote #1

Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy Picture Quote #1

Mrs. Bonneville never buckled her seat belt, even though it was required by state law; an ardent libertarian, she opposed government meddling in all matters of personal choice Picture Quote #1

From religion comes a man’s purpose; from science, his power to achieve it. Sometimes people ask if religion and science are not opposed to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hands are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which anything can be grasped Picture Quote #1

The single biggest reason companies fail is they overinvest in what is, as opposed to what might be Picture Quote #1
