It’s food, it’s clothing, it’s all the magazines that come under the heading of things looking simple. Men’s magazines don’t seem to do this. They seem to be about things that are fun, not things you have to spend lots of hours on and then fail at  (Oppressive Quotes) When I take up my pen to write, I feel the strength of standing up and refusing to be silent. In an oppressive situation, silence is death  (Oppressive Quotes) When faced with structural injustice, especially in the form of oppressive military occupations, I have a tendency get a little worked up.

It was just time… there was opportunity for me to take a stand to express the way I felt about being treated in that manner. I had not planned to get arrested. I had plenty to do without having to end up in jail. But when I had to face that decision, I didn’t hesitate to do so because I felt that we had endured that too long. The more we gave in, the more we complied with that kind of treatment, the more oppressive it became  (Oppressive Quotes) When a system of oppression has become institutionaliz ed it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive  (Oppressive Quotes) In an oppressive society if a group stands up to take care of the lambs, it automatically stands up against the wolves  (Oppressive Quotes) We were happy a hundred years ago. We knew that there were exploiters and exploited, wealthy and poor, and we had a perfect idea of how to get rid of injustice; we would expropriate the owners and turn the wealth over to the common good. We expropriated the owners and we created one of the most monstrous and oppressive social systems in world history. And we keep repeating that in principle everything was all right, only some unfortunate accidents slipped in and slightly spoiled the good idea. Now let us start afresh  (Oppressive Quotes) Oppressed people are frequently very oppressive when first liberated.

I want to help us hold a mirror to ourselves  (Oppressive Quotes) Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship  (Oppressive Quotes) Small groups or communities may be far more oppressive to the individual than larger ones. Men are in many ways freer in large cities than in small villages  (Oppressive Quotes) Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we’ve turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform  (Oppressive Quotes) Did we risk our lives to defend a just society, where guilt must be proven and not assumed? Or are we no better than the oppressive kings from whom our fathers fled?  (Oppressive Quotes) Will you stop drinking whiskey? Let me plead with you to do so. And if the sisters would not think it oppressive, I would ask them to not drink quite so much strong tea  (Oppressive Quotes) A national debt if it is not excessive will be to us a national blessing; it will be powerfull cement of our union. It will also create a necessity for keeping up taxation to a degree which without being oppressive, will be a spur to industry;  (Oppressive Quotes) If people with the very best intentions carry on prosecutions that are oppressive, the end may not always perhaps sanctify the means  (Oppressive Quotes) Assumptions that racism is more oppressive to black men than black women, then and now... based on acceptance of patriarchal notions of masculinity  (Oppressive Quotes) Freedom is not won by merely overthrowing a tyrannical ruler or an oppressive regime.
