Against Quotes (page 73)

I had to ride slow because I was taking my guerrilla route, the one I follow when I assume that everyone in a car is out to get me. My nighttime attitude is, anyone can run you down and get away with it. Why give some drunk the chance to plaster me against a car? That's why I don't even own a bike light, or one of those godawful reflective suits. Because if you've put yourself in a position where someone has to see you in order for you to be safe--to see you, and to give a fuck--you've... Neal Stephenson
Terry Prachett quote: "Speaking as a mother of unborn generations, I'm against it."
Speaking as a mother of unborn generations, I'm against it. Terry Prachett
The latter part of her stay in Voronezh had been the happiest period in Princess Marya's life. Her love for Rostov was not then a source of torment or agitation to her. That love had by then filled her whole soul and become an inseparable part of herself, and she no longer struggled against it. Of late Princess Marya was convinced- though she never clearly in so many words admitted it to herself- that she loved and was beloved. Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes I nursed starfish alive in jam jars of seawater and watched them grow back lost arms. On this day, this awful birthday of otherness, my rival, somebody else, I flung the starfish against a stone. Let it perish. Sylvia Plath
The common and continual mischief's [sic] of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a... George Washington
If you're going to go to war against thr System, just do your shooting like a nice, intelligent girl because the enemy's there, and not because you don't like his hairdo or his goddamn necktie. J. D. Salinger
Steve Martin quote: "So, while fitting in, she was like a wicked detail standing..."
So, while fitting in, she was like a wicked detail standing out against a placid background. Steve Martin
But the reasons against going to New Orleans--that spicy southern city known for jazz and Mardi Gras and hospitality--were the very reasons we had to go. Howard Schultz
You would make a ship sail against the winds and currents by lighting a bonfire under her decks? I have no time for such nonsense. Napoleon Bonaparte
Khalil Gibran quote: "And when one of you falls down he falls for those behind him,..."
And when one of you falls down he falls for those behind him, a caution against the stumbling stone. Khalil Gibran
Oswald Spengler quote: "Philosophy, the love of Wisdom, is at the very bottom defence..."
Philosophy, the love of Wisdom, is at the very bottom defence against the incomprehensible. Oswald Spengler
Cathy, this lamb of yours threatens like a bull!' he said. 'It is in danger of splitting its skull against my knuckles. By God! Mr. Linton, I'm mortally sorry that you are not worth knocking down! Emily Bronte
Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you. Remember that, Sansa, when you come to play the game? George R. R. Martin
But there were also times when she cried out in the darkness biting her lips - cried out against the substance of her age: for it was now that she should be young; now above all other times, with the wisdom in her, the wisdom that was frittered away in her 'teens', set aside in her twenties, now, lying there, palpable and with forty summers gone. She clenched her hands together. What good was wisdom; what good was anything when the fawn is fled from the grove? Mervyn Peake
Listen, baby, people do funny things. Specially us. The cards are stacked against us and just trying to stay in the game, stay alive and in the game, makes us do funny things. Things we can't help. Things that make us hurt one another. We don't even know why. Toni Morrison
