From the State the exceptional individual cannot expect much. He is seldom benefited by being taken into its service; the only certain advantage it can give him is complete independence. Only real culture will prevent him being too early tired out or used up, and will spare him the exhausting struggle against culture-philistinism. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Against Culture quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing that what is at any rate believed to be the 'truth' really is true, and the meaning of all culture is the reduction of the beast of prey 'man' to a tame and civilized animal, a domestic animal, then one would undoubtedly have to regard all those instincts of reaction and ressentiment through whose aid the noble races and their ideals were finally confounded and overthrown as the actual instruments of culture; which is not to say that the bearers of these instincts themselves represent culture. Rather is the reverse not merely probable - no! today it is palpable! These bearers of the oppressive instincts that thirst for reprisal, the descendants of every kind of European and non-European slavery, and especially of the entire pre-Aryan populace - they represent the regression of mankind! These 'instruments of culture' are a disgrace to man and rather an accusation and counterargument against 'culture' in general! ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Against Culture quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have ever fucked up in your life, or if the great river of sadness that runs through us all has touched you, then this book is for you. So thank you for the collective energy it takes to write in the face of culture. I can feel you. ~ Lidia Yuknavitch
Against Culture quotes by Lidia Yuknavitch
And no matter what I did, I couldn't save you. And I Couldn't bring myself to kill you.They ... "He takes a deep breath and pull me against him."You might as well have eaten my heart straight from my living body.I would rather die a thousand times at your hands than see you captured.Even if you eat my heart. Because you already own it. ~ Bethany Wiggins
Against Culture quotes by Bethany Wiggins
I think there is such a thing as a bad seed that comes to flower in certain people. The danger with that theory is that we begin to look for those "troublemakers" early on and try to weed them out. That's very dangerous, because it could work against kids who are just routine troublemakers. ~ James Hillman
Against Culture quotes by James Hillman
I feel the art world in New York has a stronger following than Britain. If you go to a New York art district on a Saturday morning, it will be so busy with families and openings - art is much more ingrained in the culture. ~ Sam Taylor-Wood
Against Culture quotes by Sam Taylor-Wood
I am from Lebanon, from Beirut and Saida

I am from the ground underneath my home

I am from the trees, the cedar tree

I come from Tabouleh and brown eyes, from Karim...

Kassar and Kassem

I come from happiness and culture

From "Habibi" and "Hayete"

I am from all religions

I am from the room beneath the stars. ~ Zeina Kassem, Talal Kassem
Against Culture quotes by Zeina Kassem, Talal Kassem
The media isn't only asleep; it doesn't want to know this news, that the people are revolting, in the very best sense of the term, revolting against the thieves in high places and reaching out to each other, which is our great strength. ~ Jim Hightower
Against Culture quotes by Jim Hightower
I've come up against a few challenges. I've just taken them on with a really pure energy. I'm not out to change people's minds. I'm out to maybe educate and inspire. ~ Meredith Brooks
Against Culture quotes by Meredith Brooks
Life was a war against a thousand enemies, from the sustenance carved from nature to the insanity of a people's will to do wrong in the name of right. ~ Steven Erikson
Against Culture quotes by Steven Erikson
An ego devoted to fighting against all the world's slurs is bound for trouble. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Against Culture quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I don't really have a life philosophy; my thing is just rebelling against pretty much organized religion. That is my main thing, because personally I think it's a crutch for people that are too weak to get through life on their own. I'm the kind of guy that says if I don't see it, then it doesn't work. And nobody can show me God. ~ Kerry King
Against Culture quotes by Kerry King
I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system. ~ Oren Peli
Against Culture quotes by Oren Peli
We advised them to do what they think proper against the war. ~ Hanoi Hannah
Against Culture quotes by Hanoi Hannah
Sophia: Go with it?
Harry: Don't fight against inevitability. Life is until it is not, so why get fussed? Don't hurt anyone, try not to give your dinner guests food poisoning, be clean in word and deed-what else is there? Just be a decent person in a decent world.
Sophia: Everyone's a decent person in their own eyes. ~ Claire North
Against Culture quotes by Claire North
The conservative may clamor against reform, but he might as well clamor against the centrifugal force. He sighs for the "good old times,"
he might as well wish the oak back into the acorn. ~ Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Against Culture quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
If the KKK was smart enough, they would've created gangsta rap because it's such a caricature of black culture and black masculinity. ~ Jackson Katz
Against Culture quotes by Jackson Katz
Manchester United would have retained the Premiership if they'd won this game – or, of course, if they'd won any of the other games they drew during the course of the season. Or, seeing as one extra point would have done the trick, if they'd drawn any of the games they lost, especially the two against Manchester City. Or, seeing as they lost the trophy on goal difference, if their victories had been achieved with a bigger winning margin. ~ Nick Hornby
Against Culture quotes by Nick Hornby
The Gulf Waterkeepers are our first line of defense against the BP oil disaster. Their incredible knowledge of the marshes, wetlands, beaches and inner-coastal waters make them invaluable first responders. Their commitment makes them critical and effective community leaders. ~ Sophie B. Hawkins
Against Culture quotes by Sophie B. Hawkins
I've let you threaten me with knives, push me up against walls, and pull my hair." She held his gaze. "I say that's enough foreplay. ~ Maggie Wells
Against Culture quotes by Maggie Wells
Hardcore groups were singing songs about Ronald Reagan. I wasn't interested in this and preferred to sing about the darkness shimmering beneath the shiny quilt of American pop culture. I suppose you could say that Sonic Youth was always trying to defy people's expectations. ~ Kim Gordon
Against Culture quotes by Kim Gordon
I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings. ~ Samuel Rutherford
Against Culture quotes by Samuel Rutherford
The process of schooling does not give birth to human beings - as education should but never will so long as it springs from the collective consciousness of our culture - but instead it teaches us to value abstract rewards at the expense of our autonomy, curiosity, interior lives, and time. ~ Derrick Jensen
Against Culture quotes by Derrick Jensen
Rising, the woman who had carried the jar began to dance to the music of the rebab, fevered music that was like to the flashing of the recurved blade she flourished aloft. Ever the chimings of the red-gold finger cymbals slipped through, around, and over the exigent strains, and in a minute or three (though it had grown dark) the fluting notes of a syrinx joined them, an eerie piping, more distant far in time than space, that railed against death and the desert, and like a child forlorn sobbed of wildflowers. "Flitting ~ Gene Wolfe
Against Culture quotes by Gene Wolfe
After the stretch of weather we've had, this is going to be a culture shock for some people. We always end up crashing back to reality. ~ Paul Gross
Against Culture quotes by Paul Gross
Many comedians are very proud of themselves for saying the things others are supposedly afraid to say. They are at the forefront of this culture of entitlement where we get to do anything, think anything, and say anything. ~ Roxane Gay
Against Culture quotes by Roxane Gay
And so, it is not our own life that we live, but the lives of the dead, and the soul that dwells within us is no single spiritual entity, making us personal and individual, created for our service, and entering into us for our joy. It is something that has dwelt in fearful places, and in ancient sepulchres has made its abode. It is sick with many maladies, and has memories of curious sins. It is wiser than we are, and its wisdom is bitter. It fills us with impossible desires, and makes us follow what we know we cannot gain. One thing, however, Ernest, it can do for us. It can lead us away from surroundings whose beauty is dimmed to us by the mist of familiarity, or whose ignoble ugliness and sordid claims are marring the perfection of our development. It can help us to leave the age in which we were born, and to pass into other ages, and find ourselves not exiled from their air. It can teach us how to escape from our experience, and to realise the experiences of those who are greater than we are. The pain of Leopardi crying out against life becomes our pain. Theocritus blows on his pipe, and we laugh with the lips of nymph and shepherd. In the wolfskin of Pierre Vidal we flee before the hounds, and in the armour of Lancelot we ride from the bower of the Queen. We have whispered the secret of our love beneath the cowl of Abelard, and in the stained raiment of Villon have put our shame into song. We can see the dawn through Shelley's eyes, and when we wander with Endymion the M ~ Oscar Wilde
Against Culture quotes by Oscar Wilde
I tried to imagine how things could get much worse. The gods were in the Midwest fighting a huge monster that had almost defeated them once before. Poseidon was under siege and losing a war against the sea Titan Oceanus.
Kronos was still out there somewhere. Olympus was virtually undefended. The demigods of Camp Half-Blood were on our own with a spy in our midst.
Oh, and according to the ancient prophecy, I was going to die when I turned sixteen - which happened to be in five days, the exact same time Typhon was supposed to hit New York. Almost forgot that. ~ Rick Riordan
Against Culture quotes by Rick Riordan
Mom?" he whispered. "Dad?"
They just looked at him, smiling. And slowly, Harry looked into the faces of the other people in the mirror, and saw other pairs of green eyes like his, other noses like his, even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry's knobbly knees - Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life.
The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness. ~ J.K. Rowling
Against Culture quotes by J.K. Rowling
Andrea was never sure who leaned forward first, but she was melting toward him and, next thing she knew, felt the scalding pressure of Sean's mouth on hers. He kissed her with strength, barely masking his power, and Andrea closed her eyes and drank it in. His hand stole to the back of her neck, arching her up to savor more of her.
"Come inside with me," he whispered against her mouth.... ~ Jennifer Ashley
Against Culture quotes by Jennifer Ashley
She didn't protest as Hale slid his arm around her and pulled her to rest against his chest. It was somehow softer there than she remembered. ~ Ally Carter
Against Culture quotes by Ally Carter
If I knew how to stop the tears, I would. I don't want him to hear me cry. I don't want him to know how upset I am that we can't have this every day of our lives. I don't want him to ask me what's wrong.
When he feels my tears falling against his chest, he doesn't do anything to stop them. Instead, he simply holds me with a much tighter grip and presses his cheek against the top of my head. His hand brushes softly through my hair.
"I know, baby," he whispers. "I know. ~ Colleen Hoover
Against Culture quotes by Colleen Hoover
There is no better motto which it [culture] can have than these words of Bishop Wilson, "To make reason and the will of God prevail." ~ Matthew Arnold
Against Culture quotes by Matthew Arnold
I don't think that mass drug taking is a good idea. But I think that we must have a deputized minority, a shamanic professional class if you will, whose job is to bring ideas out of the deep black water and show them off to the rest of us and perform for our culture some of the cultural functions that shaman perform in pre-literate cultures. ~ Terence McKenna
Against Culture quotes by Terence McKenna
Thus far, our responsibility for how we treat chickens and allow them to be treated in our culture is dismissed with blistering rhetoric designed to silence objection: "How the hell can you compare the feelings of a hen with those of a human being?" One answer is, by looking at her. It does not take special insight or credentials to see that a hen confined in a battery cage is suffering, or to imagine what her feelings must be compared with those of a hen ranging outside in the grass and sunlight. We are told that we humans are capable of knowing just about anything that we want to know - except, ironically, what it feels like to be one of our victims. We are told we are being "emotional" if we care about a chicken and grieve over a chicken's plight. However, it is not "emotion" that is really under attack, but the vicarious emotions of pity, sympathy, compassion, sorrow, and indignity on behalf of the victim, a fellow creature - emotions that undermine business as usual. By contrast, such "manly" emotions as patriotism, pride, conquest, and mastery are encouraged. ~ Karen Davis
Against Culture quotes by Karen Davis
He was in a room of the Gesshuuji, which he had thought it would be impossible to visit. The approach of death had made the visit easy, had unloosed the weight that held him in the depths of being. It was even a comfort to think, from the light repose the struggle up the hill had brought him, that Kiyoaki, struggling against illness up that same road, had been given wings to soar with by the denial that awaited him. ~ Yukio Mishima
Against Culture quotes by Yukio Mishima
The scars left from the child's defeat in the fight against irrational authority are to be found at the bottom of every neurosis. ~ Erich Fromm
Against Culture quotes by Erich Fromm
Poetry challenges you. Much of its importance is that it's one of the few places left in culture that makes things difficult-it asks you to think, to perceive and not to take for granted what we think about the world. ~ Dan Beachy-Quick
Against Culture quotes by Dan Beachy-Quick
Grunting against the weight, I grasped the legs of the deer and spared a final glance at the steaming carcass of the wolf. His remaining golden eye now stared at the snow-heavy sky, and for a moment, I wished I had it in me to feel remorse for the dead thing. But this was the forest, and it was winter. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Against Culture quotes by Sarah J. Maas
It. Just don't leave my side, promise me that." Jon let out a low sound, quickly moving forward to press his lips against the captain's as Baltsaros's hands came up around him. Breaking the kiss, Jon looked hard at the captain. "I won't leave your side," he smiled, his fingers twining in the captain's hair. "I promise. ~ Anonymous
Against Culture quotes by Anonymous
The good news that the just and gracious Creator of the universe has looked upon hopelessly sinful men and women and has sent his Son, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, to bear his wrath against sin on the cross and to show his power over sin in the resurrection, so that everyone who turns from their sin and themselves and trusts in Jesus as Savior and Lord will be reconciled to God forever. ~ David Platt
Against Culture quotes by David Platt
My cousin was Ron O'Neal, who was 'Superfly.' Films like 'Shaft' and 'Superfly' were the biggest things out there in the early '70s. It's hard to remember just how big they were - how much impact they had on the culture, the music, the fashions, the hair styles. ~ Kym Whitley
Against Culture quotes by Kym Whitley
In India we're fighting to retain a wilderness that we have. Whereas in the west, it's gone. Every person that's walking down the street is a walking bar code. You can tell where their clothes are from, how much they cost, which designer made which shoe, which shop you bought each item from. Everything is civilized and tagged and valued and numbered and put in it's place. Whereas in India, the wilderness still exists-the unindoctrinated wilderness of the mind, full of untold secrets and wild imaginings. ~ Arundhati Roy
Against Culture quotes by Arundhati Roy
Each human life hypothetically saved by implementing these [radiation] regulations costs about $2.5 billion. Such costs are absurd and immoral, especially when compared to the costs of saving lives by immunization against measles, diphtheria and pertussis, which in developing countries range between $50 and $99 per one human life saved. ~ Zbigniew Jaworowski
Against Culture quotes by Zbigniew Jaworowski
[Scientists] have learned to respect nothing but evidence, and to believe that their highest duty lies in submitting to it however it may jar against their inclinations. ~ Thomas Huxley
Against Culture quotes by Thomas Huxley
No longer can America afford to have its citizenry sit on the sidelines of the community watching while "activists" and others take over the nation, reshaping it into a distinctly destructive environment. ~ Daniel Rundquist
Against Culture quotes by Daniel Rundquist
I put my arms round her. For just a mere, single instant I had a real, heavy body in my arms and a moist face against my cheek, with a real, difficult personality to go with them. ~ Diana Wynne Jones
Against Culture quotes by Diana Wynne Jones
All discussion of the ultimate nature of things must necessarily be barren unless we have some extraneous standards against which to compare them. ~ James Jeans
Against Culture quotes by James Jeans
I hold a strict policy of automatic grudges against people everyone likes. ~ Kate Hattemer
Against Culture quotes by Kate Hattemer
Madame Bovary is one my favorite novels. Emma Bovary will always be an enigma, but as the years pass, I feel that I understand her better. She has a violent nostalgia, almost an infantile nostalgia, to be understood by the men surrounding her. I like her relentless fight for independence, her rebellion against the mediocre, and her quest for the sublime, even if she burns her wigs in the process. I like that Flaubert never judges her morally for her self-destructiveness, for her desperate attempt to satisfy her wildest desires and appetites. ~ Sophie Barthes
Against Culture quotes by Sophie Barthes
Those who are marching into the battlefield and are ready to be killed today in the name of democracy, in the name of freedom, in the name of communism, are no different from those who threw themselves to the lions in the arenas. The Romans watched that fun with great joy. How are we different from them? Not a bit. We love it. To kill and to be killed is the foundation of our culture. ~ U.G. Krishnamurti
Against Culture quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
