Rejections Quotes (page 4)

Philip Larkin quote: "Since the majority of me Rejects the majority of you, Debating..."
Since the majority of me Rejects the majority of you, Debating ends forthwith, and we Divide.'' Philip Larkin Philip Larkin
The good must be clearly good but not wholly clear. If it is wholly clear it is too easy to reject. What is wanted is an oversimplification, a reduction of a multitude of possibilities to only two. But if the recommended path were utterly devoid of mystery, it would cease to fascinate men….There would be nothing left to discuss and interpret, to lecture and write about, to admire and merely think about. The world exacts a price for calling teachers wise: it keeps discussing the paths they... Walter Kaufmann
Either the day must come when joy prevails and all the makers of misery are no longer able to infect it, or else, for ever and ever, the makers of misery can destroy in others the happiness they reject for themselves. C. S. Lewis
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. Carl Sagan
I remained a socialist for several years, even after my rejection of Marxism; and if there could be such a thing as socialism combined with individual liberty, I would be a socialist still. For nothing could be better than living a modest, simple, and free life in an egalitarian society. It took some time before I recognized this as no more than a beautiful dream; that freedom is more important than equality; that the attempt to realize equality endangers freedom; and that, if freedom is... Karl Popper
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Work like hell! I had 122 rejection slips before I sold a story."
Work like hell! I had 122 rejection slips before I sold a story. F. Scott Fitzgerald
People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss. Nick Hornby
There's a certain kind of lonely man who rejects love, because he believes that anyone who offers it wouldn't be a lover worth having. Gene Wolfe
John Grisham quote: "Any lawyer worth his salt knew the first offer had to be..."
Any lawyer worth his salt knew the first offer had to be rejected. John Grisham
Rationality is man's basic virtue, the source of all his other virtues. Man's basic vice, the source of all evils, is the act of unfocussing his mind, the suspension of his conciousness, which is not blindness, but the refusal to see, not ignorance, but the refusal to know. Irrationality is the rejection of man's means of survival and therefore, a commitment to a course of blind destruction; that is anti-mind, anti-life. Ayn Rand
there is no such thing as a parttime partisan. Real partisans are partisans always and as long as they live. They put fallen governments back in power and overthrow governments that have just been put in power with the help of partisans. Mr Matzerath contended - and his thesis struck me as perfectly plausible - that among all those who go in for politics your incorrigible partisan, who undermines what he has just set up, is closest to the artist because he consistently rejects what he has... Gunter Grass
Anais Nin quote: "Beware of allowing a tactless word, a rebuttal, a rejection to..."
Beware of allowing a tactless word, a rebuttal, a rejection to obliterate the whole sky Anais Nin
I have already thought it over,' said Rubashov. 'I reject your proposition. Logically, you may be right. But I have had enough of this kind of logic. I am tired and I don't want to play this game anymore. Be kind enough to have me taken back to my cell. Arthur Koestler
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. Martin Luther King jr.
Giordano Bruno quote: "The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the..."
The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it. Giordano Bruno
