Refuse Quotes

As a composer, I believe that music has the power to inspire a renewal of human consciousness, culture, and politics. And yet I refuse to make political art. More often than not political art fails as politics, and all too often it fails as art. To reach its fullest power, to be most moving and most fully useful to us, art must be itself Picture Quote #1

We live in this irreparably broken world, and I don’t wish to deny reality, but the amazing thing to me is not that we refuse to relinquish hope as a species. The amazing thing is that we’re right to hold on to hope. The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.... Obviously not all stories end happily. We don’t always have good fortune, but hope gives us, as a species and as individuals, what we otherwise wouldn’t have: A chance Picture Quote #1

Everybody does the same mistake: refusing the means, but wanting the ends. You want peace and harmony in the world, but refuse to have them in yourself Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness means that you fill yourself with love and you radiate that love outward and refuse to hang onto the venom or hatred that was engendered by the behaviors that caused the wounds Picture Quote #1

If you refuse to study anatomy, the arts of drawing and perspective, the mathematics of aesthetics, and the science of color, let me tell you that this is more a sign of laziness than of genius Picture Quote #1

The system wants you to be either a bow or an arrow; refuse both, because there is a third choice: To be an archer! Picture Quote #1

It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you Picture Quote #1

One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems... wars, nations, destructions... to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be Picture Quote #1

I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that’s beyond fixing Picture Quote #1

Often we combat our evil thoughts most effectively if we absolutely refuse to allow them to be expressed in words Picture Quote #1

The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about, yet refuse to investigate Picture Quote #1

Hypocrites are those who apply to others the standards that they refuse to accept for themselves Picture Quote #1

Judges... are picked out from the most dextrous lawyers, who are grown old or lazy, and having been biased all their lives against truth or equity, are under such a fatal necessity of favoring fraud, perjury and oppression, that I have known several of them to refuse a large bribe from the side where justice lay, rather than injure the faculty by doing any thing unbecoming their nature in office Picture Quote #1

You don’t have the right to hold somebody accountable for standards you refuse to apply to yourself Picture Quote #1

They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse Picture Quote #1

By creating an image of low self- esteem within ourselves, we bomb and terrorize our true self. When we refuse to forgive, we create an insensible war from old grudges. When we allow stress to impede our healthy flow of energy, we create the weapon of destruction that kills humanity Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as freedom of choice unless there is freedom to refuse Picture Quote #1

In order to be true to one’s conscience and true to God, a righteous man has no alternative but to refuse to cooperate with an evil system Picture Quote #1
