Obedient Quotes (page 7)

Naomi Wolf quote: "A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession..."
A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience. Naomi Wolf
I'm worried that students will take their obedient place in society and look to become successful cogs in the wheel - let the wheel spin them around as it wants without taking a look at what they're doing. I'm concerned that students not become passive acceptors of the official doctrine that's handed down to them from the White House, the media, textbooks, teachers and preachers. Howard Zinn
Ayn Rand quote: "He demanded of all people the one thing he had never granted..."
He demanded of all people the one thing he had never granted anybody: obedience. Ayn Rand
It's a simple world for her. A curtain fluttering - that's how she is - lives, moves - obediently, yet with every appearnace of freedom and caprice. William Gass
What was behind this smug presumption that what pleased you was bad or at least unimportant in comparison to other things? … Little children were trained not to do “just what they liked’ but … but what? … Of course! What others liked. And which others? Parents, teachers, supervisors, policemen, judges, officials, kings, dictators. All authorities. When you are trained to despise “just what you like” then, of course, you become a much more obedient servant of others — a good slave. When you... Robert M. Pirsig
The whole bible is the working out of the relationship between God and man. God is not a dictator barking out orders and demanding silent obedience. Were it so, there would be no relationship at all. No real relationship goes just one way. There are always two active parties. We must have reverence and awe for God, and honor for the chain of tradition. But that doesn't mean we can't use new information to help us read the holy texts in new ways. A. J. Jacobs
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence. Neal A. Maxwell
God grant, if we must have two eyes, that they may be both clear ones, one the eye of faith wholly fixed on Christ, the other the eye of obedience equally and wholly fixed on the same objective! Charles Spurgeon
Even the aesthetic activities of political opposites are one in their enthusiastic obedience to the rhythm of the iron system. Theodor Adorno
Thomas Jefferson quote: "Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God."
Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God. Thomas Jefferson
Oswald Chambers quote: "God is not preparing you for anything; obedience is its own..."
God is not preparing you for anything; obedience is its own end in the purpose of God; be faithful to Him. Oswald Chambers
In all His acts God orders all things, whether good or evil, for the good of those who know Him and seek Him and who strive to bring their own freedom under obedience to His divine purpose. All that is done by the will of God in secret is done for His glory and for the good of those whom He has chosen to share in His glory. Thomas Merton
Oswald Chambers quote: "The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but..."
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience. Oswald Chambers
TO the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after-ward resumes its liberty. Walt Whitman
Christianity taught us to see the eye of the lord looking down upon us. Such forms of knowledge project an image of reality, at the expense of reality itself. They talk figures and icons and signs, but fail to perceive forces and flows. They bind us to other realities, and especially the reality of power as it subjugates us. Their function is to tame, and the result is the fabrication of docile and obedient subjects Gilles Deleuze
