A theory is a species of thinking, and it's right to exist is coextensive with it's power of resisting extinction by it's rivals  (Resisting Quotes) In youth, grief comes with a rush and overflow, but it dries up, too, like the torrent. In the winter of life it remains a miserable pool, resisting all evaporation  (Resisting Quotes) Those who deny the right of a jury to protect an individual in resisting an unjust law of the government, deny him all defence whatsoever against oppression  (Resisting Quotes) Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies  (Resisting Quotes) She wasn’t afraid of doing good or of resisting evil. She was merely afraid she might not be able to tell the difference  (Resisting Quotes) Secular humanists suspect there is something more gloriously human about resisting the religious impulse; about accepting the cold truth, even if that truth is only that the universe is as indifferent to us as we are to it  (Resisting Quotes) You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state  (Resisting Quotes) What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened... Instead of always harping on a man’s faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut... Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out!... People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts  (Resisting Quotes) Once evil is individualized, becoming part of everyday life, the way of resisting it also becomes individual. How does the soul survive? is the essential question. And the response is: through love and imagination  (Resisting Quotes) Can anything be more absurd than keeping women in a state of ignorance, and yet so vehemently to insist on their resisting temptation?  (Resisting Quotes) The fundamental idea of these pylons, or great archways, is based on a method of construction peculiar to me, of which the principle consists in giving to the edges of the pyramid a curve of such a nature that this pyramid shall be capable of resisting the force of the wind without necessitating the junction of the edges by diagonals as is usually done  (Resisting Quotes) When you start, the world of publishing seems like a great cathedral citadel of talent, resisting attempts to let you inside. It isn’t like that at all. It may be more difficult now, and take longer than when I started to write, but there’s a great, empty warehouse out there looking for simple talent  (Resisting Quotes) The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized  (Resisting Quotes) The truth is, that, even with the most secure tenure of office, during good behavior, the danger is not, that the judges will be too firm in resisting public opinion, and in defence of private rights or public liberties; but, that they will be ready to yield themselves to the passions, and politics, and prejudices of the day  (Resisting Quotes) Wild rivers are earth’s renegades, defying gravity, dancing to their own tunes, resisting the authority of humans, always chipping away, and eventually always winning  (Resisting Quotes) The task of resisting our own oppression does not relieve us of the responsibility of acknowledging our complicity in the oppression of others  (Resisting Quotes) At any moment, whatever we are experiencing, only one of two things is ever happening: either we are being with what is, or else we are resisting what is. Being with what is means letting ourselves have and feel our experience, just as it is right now... This is where genuine creativity, health, and communication, as well as spiritual power, arise from  (Resisting Quotes) Most of our suffering comes from resisting what is already here, particularly our feelings. All any feeling wants is to be welcomed, touched, allowed. It wants attention. It wants kindness. If you treated your feelings with as much love as you treated your dog or your cat or your child, you’d feel as if you were living in heaven every day of your sweet life  (Resisting Quotes) It is in the thousands of days of trying, failing, sitting, thinking, resisting, dreaming, raveling, unraveling that we are at our most engaged, alert, and alive  (Resisting Quotes) Good pain is pain in the service of a purpose. Bad pain is pain endured because we are resisting a needed growth step  (Resisting Quotes) The mind, by its very nature, persistently tries to live forever, resisting age and attempting to give itself a form... When a person passes his prime and his life begins to lose true vigor and charm, his mind starts functioning as if it were another form of life; it imitates what life does, eventually doing what life cannot do  (Resisting Quotes) Innovations, free thinking is blowing like a storm; those that stand in front of it, ignorant scholars like you, false scientists, perverse conservatives, obstinate goats, resisting mules are being crushed under the weight of these innovations. You are nothing but ants standing in front of the giants; nothing but chicks trying to challenge roaring volcanoes!  (Resisting Quotes) We ain’t gonna fight no reactionary pigs who run up and down the street being reactionary; we’re gonna organize and dedicate ourselves to revolutionary political power and teach ourselves the specific needs of resisting the power structure, arm ourselves, and we’re gonna fight reactionary pigs with international proletarian revolution. That’s what it has to be. The people have to have the power: it belongs to the people  (Resisting Quotes) The oldest habit in the world for resisting change is to complain that unless the remedy to the disease should be universally applied it should not be applied at all.

Simply resisting the urge to hurry is free  (Resisting Quotes) We will not put our sons in prison for political membership or resisting occupation, because occupation is the reason for the problem  (Resisting Quotes) How much time, creative energy, and emotion do we expend resisting change because we assume growth must always be painful? Much personal growth is uncomfortable, but it’s worse to thwart the ascent of your authenticity  (Resisting Quotes) There are two kinds of men and women, those who have in them resisting as their way of winning those who have in them attacking as their way of winning  (Resisting Quotes)
