Disapproving Quotes

James H. Breasted quote: "Disapproval is a very important factor in all progress. There..."
Disapproval is a very important factor in all progress. There has really never been any progress without it. James H. Breasted
Disapproval of homosexuality cannot justify invading the houses, hearts and minds of citizens who choose to live their lives differently. Harry A. Blackmun
Women who disapprove of men - and there's plenty to disapprove of - should remember how we started out, and how far we had to travel. Nick Hornby
Francis Maude quote: "It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of..."
It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain. Francis Maude
I would not rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any more than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of Tony Blair's foreign policy. Roger Waters
Expressions of disapproval are on a level of vulgarity that cannot be tolerated. The way to express disapproval is to do without applause. Rudolf Bing
They've got something they do it with, I think it's called a mocracy, and it means everyone in the whole country can say who the new Tyrant is. One man ... one vet. ... Everyone has ... the vet. Except for women, of course. And children. And criminals. And slaves. And stupid people. And people of foreign extraction. And people disapproved of for, er, various reasons. And lots of other people. But everyone apart from them. It's a very enlightened civilization. Terry Prachett
People are either attracted to the unseemly or disapproving of it, or both; yet we try to sound superior to the unseemly by pretending to be amused by it or indifferent to it. John Irving
The seat received him in a loose and distant kind of way, like an aunt who disapproves of the last fifteen years of your life and will therefore furnish you with a basic sherry, but refuses to catch your eye. Douglas Adams
Madeline began hearing people saying "Derrida". She heard them saying "Lyotard" and "Foucault" and "Deleuze" and "Baudrillard". That most of these people were those she instinctually disapproved of- upper-middle-class kids who wore Doc Martens and anarchist symbols- made Madeline dubious about the value of their enthusiasm. Jeffrey Eugenides
He wanted women to love him, all women, beginning with his mother and going on from there. Therefore, whenever any woman got mad at him, he felt maternal disapproval crashing down upon his shoulders, as if he'd been a naughty boy. Jeffrey Eugenides
Press conference [on the movie Carrington] yielded the usual crop of daftness. I've been asked if I related personally to Carrington's tortured relationship with sex and replied that no, not really, I'd had a very pleasant time since I was fifteen. This elicited very disapproving copy from the Brits ... No wonder people think we don't have sex in England. Emma Thompson
Telling the truth when the truth matters most is almost always a frightening prospect. If a writer doesn't give away secrets, his own or those of the people he loves; if she doesn't court disapproval, reproach, and general wrath, whether of friends, family, or party apparatchiks; if the writer submits his work to an internal censor long before anyone else can get their hands on it, the result is pallid, inanimate, a lump of earth. Michael Chabon
Oscar Wilde quote: "I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an..."
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life. Oscar Wilde
And it is the way with us that you may express disapproval of the sun or the moon, or anything you like, but God preserve you from touching the Liberals! Heaven forbid! Anton Chekhov
