Argument Quotes (page 15)

When people say "clearly" something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all. Terry Prachett
Kat and Kropp get in an argument over the war as they rest from an hour’s worth of drill (occasioned by Tjaden’s not saluting a major properly). Kat believes the war would be over if leaders gave all the participants “the same grub and the same pay,” as he says in a rhyme. Kropp believes the leaders of each country should fight each other in an arena to settle the war; the “wrong” people currently do the fighting. Erich Maria Remarque
An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition... A contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says." No, it's not... Graham Chapman
Thomas Hardy quote: "A novel is an impression, not an argument; and there the..."
A novel is an impression, not an argument; and there the matter must rest. Thomas Hardy
Now could thou and I rob the thieves and go merrily to London, it would be argument for a week, laughter for a month, and a good jest forever. William Shakespeare
once I admitted the arguments of necessity and force majeure put forward by the less eminent, I couldn’t reject those of the eminent. To which they retorted that the surest way of playing the game of the red robes was to leave to them the monopoly of the death penalty. My reply to this was that if you gave in once, there was no reason for not continuing to give in. It seems to me that history has borne me out; today there’s a sort of competition who will kill the most. They’re all mad over... Albert Camus
There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all risks and rational argument, we believe that the path we are choosing is right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead. Howard Schultz

You have overburdened your argument with ostentatious erudition."Spoken by Abigail Adams David McCullough
All arguments between the traditional scientific view of man as organism, a locus of needs and drives, and a Christian view of man as a spiritual being not only unresolvable at the present level of discourse but are also profoundly boring... From the scientific view at least, a new model of man is needed, something other than man conceived as a locus of bio-psycho-sociological needs and drives. Such an anthropological model might be provided by semiotics, that is, the study of man as the... Walker Percy
Amartya Sen quote: "A defeated argument that refuses to be obliterated can remain..."
A defeated argument that refuses to be obliterated can remain very alive. Amartya Sen
i am with the rootsof flowersentwined, entombedsending up my passionate blossomsas a flight of rocketsand argument; wine churls my throat, above mefeet walk upon my brain, monkies fall from the skyclutching photographs of the planets, but i seek only musicand the leisureof my pain Charles Bukowski
I should be very much obliged if you would slip your revolver into your pocket. An Eley's No. 2 is an excellent argument with gentlemen who can twist steel pokers into knots. That and a tooth-brush are, I think, all that we need. Arthur Conan Doyle
Burnside left even sooner, hard on the heels of a violent argument with Meade, an exchange of recriminations which a staff observer said “went far toward confirming one’s belief in the wealth and flexibility of the English language as a medium of personal dispute.” The Civil War: A Narrative, Volume III: Red River to Appomattox, War is Cruelty Shelby Foote
No matter what argument you make against evolution, the response is Well, you know, it's possible to believe in evolution and believe in God. Yes, and it's possible to believe in Spiderman and believe in God, but that doesn't prove Spiderman is true. Ann Coulter
He liked the fact that the cars were indistinguishable from each other. He wanted such a car because he thought it was a platonic replica, weightless for all its size, less an object than an idea. But he knew this wasn't true. This was something he said for effect and he didn't believe it for an instant. He believed it for an instant but only just. He wanted the car because it was not only oversized but aggressively and contemptuously so, metastasizingly so, a tremendous mutant thing that... Don DeLillo
