Claiming Quotes (page 7)

The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture Camille Paglia
Richard P. Feynman quote: "I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other..."
I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly! Richard P. Feynman
Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. And it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young... Bill Nye
Bertrand Russell quote: "Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims,..."
Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims, and achieved fewer results, than any other branch of learning. Bertrand Russell
Romain Rolland quote: "Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek..."
Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek the truth, but already to possess it. Romain Rolland
Literature, after all, from Homer onwards, is littered with the recounting of deaths and with the fascination for death, and in this it only expresses what we all repeatedly dwell on but do not necessarily or readily voice. So far as death goes, I don't claim any oddity. There is only one sea: I'm in the same boat as everyone else. And that seems, more generally, to be the position that every novelist, unless they are possessed of a peculiar arrogance, should take: I am mortal too, I am human... Graham Swift
There is no absolute knowledge. And those who claim it, whether they are scientists or dogmatists, open the door to tragedy. Jacob Bronowski
If nothing exists, there can be no consciousness, a consciousness with nothing to be conscious of is a contradiction in terms. A consciousness conscious of nothing but itself is a contradiction in terms: before it could identify itself as consciousness, it had to be conscious of something. If that which you claim to perceive does not exist, what you possess is not consciousness. Ayn Rand
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "I shall claim full amends for every fall and stubbed toe, if..."
I shall claim full amends for every fall and stubbed toe, if you do not lead us well. J. R. R. Tolkien
PatriotismBreathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land!' Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home his footsteps he hath turn'dFrom wandering on a foreign strand? If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair... Walter Scott
...so claim'd are the Surveyors in their contra-solar Return by Might-it-bes, and If-it-weres, - not to mention What-was-thats. Thomas Pynchon
It is a good lesson - though it may often be a hard one - for a man... to step aside out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognized, and to find how utterly devoid of significance, beyond that circle, is all that he achieves, and all he aims at. Nathaniel Hawthorne
The critics say that epics have died out with Agamemnon and the goat-nursed gods; I'll not believe it. I could never deem as Payne Knight did, that Homer's heroes measured twelve feet high. They were but men: -his Helen's hair turned grey like any plain Miss Smith's who wears a front; And Hector's infant whimpered at a plume as yours last Friday at a turkey-cock. All heroes are essential men, and all men possible heroes: every age, heroic in proportions, double faced, looks backward and... Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Neil Gaiman quote: "I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will..."
I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. Neil Gaiman
Tobias Wolff quote: "I'm a survivor, " I said. But I didn't think that claim would..."
I'm a survivor, " I said. But I didn't think that claim would carry much weight in an obituary. Tobias Wolff
