A freshman had to wear a black turtleneck sweater, corduroy trousers, and a little black cap called a 'dink' on the back of his head," he wrote in his autobiography, Confessions of a Maverick ~ Dorothy Wickenden
Maverick quotes by Dorothy Wickenden
Maverick texted her throughout the day making sure she was okay, and who knew that the word fuck could sound so sweet? I'm fucking worried about you. He'll fucking pay if he hurts you. IS IT 5OFUCKINGCLOCK YET? That one came complete with a winky face.And when a big tough biker dude sent you shouty caps and a winky face, it could make you smile. ~ Laura Kaye
Maverick quotes by Laura Kaye
Have a courage to repulse those people who dare to affront you because everyone has an Achilles' heel. Outshine them, and let your light shine on their damned faces, INTENSELY. ~ Maverick
Maverick quotes by Maverick
Do you know what it's like, to hide in the shadows until your soul starts to blend into the darkness? ~ Maverick Myth Novel
Maverick quotes by Maverick Myth Novel
Our people do not want barren theories from their democracy. Maury Maverick has expressed very quaintly, but clearly, what they really want when he says: 'We Americans want to talk, pray, think as we please and eat regular'. ~ Robert H. Jackson
Maverick quotes by Robert H. Jackson
Cowgirl Interlude (Bonanza Jellybean)
She is lying on the family sofa in flannel pajamas. There is Kansas City mud on the tips and heels of her boots, boots that have yet to savor real manure. Fourteen, she knows she ought to remove her boots, yet she refuses. A Maverick rerun is on TV; she is eating beef jerky, occasionally slurping. On her upper stomach, where her pajama top has ridden up, is a small deep scar. She tells everyone, including her school nurse, that it was made by a silver bullet.
Whatever the origin of the extra hole in her belly, there are unmistakable signs of gunfire int he woodwork by the closet door. It was there that she once shot up one half of an old pair of sneakers. "Self-defense," she pleaded, when her parents complained. "It was a [sic] out-law tennis shoe.
Billy the Ked. ~ Tom Robbins
Maverick quotes by Tom Robbins
Think of the many articles one can find every year in the Wall Street Journal describing some entrepreneur or businessman as being a "pioneer" or a "maverick" or a "cowboy." Think of the many times these ambitious modern men are described as "staking their claim" or boldly pushing themselves "beyond the frontier" or even "riding into the sunset." We still use this nineteenth-century lexicon to describe our boldest citizens, but it's really a code now, because these guys aren't actually pioneers; they are talented computer programmers, biogenetic researchers, politicians, or media monguls making a big splash in a fast modern economy.

But when Eustace Conway talks about staking a claim, the guy is literally staking a goddamn claim. Other frontier expressions that the rest of us use as metaphors, Eustace uses literally. He does sit tall in the saddle; he does keep his powder dry; he is carving out a homestead. When he talks about reining in horses or calling off the dogs or mending fences, you can be sure that there are real horses, real dogs or real fences in the picture. And when Eustace goes in for the kill, he's not talking about a hostile takeover of a rival company; he's talking about really killing something. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Maverick quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
You'd be surprised at how many of us want justice in this case," says Uncle Carlos. "But of course, classic Maverick. Every cop is automatically a bad cop. ~ Angie Thomas
Maverick quotes by Angie Thomas
My main motivation is not to get bored. I'm just hoping I get a vaguely maverick reputation. ~ Vikram Seth
Maverick quotes by Vikram Seth
Famous for his 'Maverick' Western series in the 1950s and 'The Rockford Files' in the '70s, and in movies like 'The Great Escape' and 'Grand Prix' in between, James Garner played amiable, independent characters for more than a half-century and never lost his comforting, enduring appeal. ~ Richard Corliss
Maverick quotes by Richard Corliss
Well I mean... I thought peace and equality was the point of the truce. Obviously equality was a bunch of crap, but there was this big 'togetherness' campaign which, while being totally dorky, was admittedly at the root a nice idea ~ Liz Maverick
Maverick quotes by Liz Maverick
Taking risks, breaking the rules, and being a maverick have always been important but today they are more crucial than ever. ~ Gary Hamel
Maverick quotes by Gary Hamel
There is a piece of me that likes to fondly imagine my maverick and rebellious nature. But, more accurately, I like to have a nice and cosy institution that I can rub up against a little bit. ~ Douglas Adams
Maverick quotes by Douglas Adams
I always wanted to be an independent maverick, writing plays and putting them on myself. ~ Christian McKay
Maverick quotes by Christian McKay
I don't think the whole of Iraq would be under al-Sadr, but I think he would be the predominant force on the Shia side. Quite contrary to his sort of maverick, firebrand image, he's shown a propensity to deal with the other side, to look for compromises, to negotiate. You might have a loose federation [in Iraq]. ~ Patrick Cockburn
Maverick quotes by Patrick Cockburn
Designers need to be mavericks, because the best way to design a successful object is to pretend that either it never existed or that people will be able to have a new behavior with it. ~ Paola Antonelli
Maverick quotes by Paola Antonelli
Well, American composers are the best composers. At this time in the world, we are where the energy is. We are the most diverse, the most iconoclastic, the most maverick, and the most skillful. ~ David Del Tredici
Maverick quotes by David Del Tredici
Pokemon to choose? According to some reviews, Mudkip is suggested to be the best. When evolved to Swampert, it will have abilities of Surf, Strength and Waterfall while Blaziken and Sceptile will only have Cut and Strength. By level 52, Swampert will be able to learn Earthquake which is a pretty strong move for battles. Speed up battles and texts Since Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is a big game as you could probably see and there will be a lot of battles and talks. If you will spend most of your time watching the battles and reading the texts, this will take your forever to accomplish things in the game. ~ Maverick Guides
Maverick quotes by Maverick Guides
The whole world loves a maverick and the whole world wants the maverick to achieve something nobler than simple rebellion. ~ Kevin Patterson
Maverick quotes by Kevin Patterson
The new independent spirit at Warner Music is a perfect fit for a stand-alone label like Maverick. ~ Guy Oseary
Maverick quotes by Guy Oseary
There's an irresponsible owner behind every gun accident. ~ Maverick Saenz
Maverick quotes by Maverick Saenz
Then he glanced at Roar, who waited on the dock. Maverick had never heard him speak a word. He'd only seen Roar stare vacantly at the water, or at the sky. "You know, you could do a lot better than him, ladybug." Aria shook her head. "No. I couldn't. ~ Veronica Rossi
Maverick quotes by Veronica Rossi
The horses
Have each seen a share of the truth, though each thinks,
"I'm a maverick. Nothing of this is happening to me ~ John Ashbery
Maverick quotes by John Ashbery
Being a maverick traveller, one would like to place oneself in the place of a local; just listen without judgement. ~ Mary Jane Walker
Maverick quotes by Mary Jane Walker
Apparently we need snakes. They don't just hiss, bite and hamper maverick archaeologists. They're ~ David Mitchell
Maverick quotes by David Mitchell
Do not cringe and make yourself small if you are called the black sheep, the maverick, the lone wolf. Those with slow seeing say that a noncomformist is a blight on society. But it has been proven over the centuries, that being different means standing at the edge, that one is practically guaranteed to make an original contribution, a useful and stunning contribution to her culture. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Maverick quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The characters I've played, especially Bret Maverick and Jim Rockford, almost never use a gun, and they always try to use their wits instead of their fists. ~ James Garner
Maverick quotes by James Garner
I will. See you later, and thanks again." Before Carlisle had a chance to leave out of the window she leaned over and kissed him, nothing ostentatious, just sweet and sensitive.
He took no time in hesitating. He reached his arm out and pulled her body close to his. He pressed them together and let his mouth open hers, his tongue slipped inside, and he stole a few more moments of sweetness with her before slipping out of her window and walking down the street, into the distance and eventually out of sight. ~ Ashley Nemer
Maverick quotes by Ashley Nemer
I'm a maverick. I've always been a maverick. ~ Sonny Bono
Maverick quotes by Sonny Bono
If you're used to being a maverick, then people don't get surprised when you start acting strangely. ~ Richard C. Armitage
Maverick quotes by Richard C. Armitage
The thing about Dostoevsky's characters is that they are alive. By which I don't just mean that they're successfully realized or developed or "rounded". The best of them live inside us, forever, once we've met them. Recall the proud and pathetic Raskolnikov, the naive Devushkin, the beautiful and damned Nastasya of The Idiot, the fawning Lebyedev and spiderish Ippolit of the same novel; C&P's ingenious maverick detective Porfiry Petrovich (without whom there would probably be no commercial crime fiction w/ eccentrically brilliant cops); Marmeladov, the hideous and pitiful sot; or the vain and noble roulette addict Aleksey Ivanovich of The Gambler; the gold-hearted prostitutes Sonya and Liza; the cynically innocent Aglaia; or the unbelievably repellent Smerdyakov, that living engine of slimy resentment in whom I personally see parts of myself I can barely stand to look at; or the idealized and all too-human Myshkin and Alyosha, the doomed human Christ and triumphant child-pilgrim, respectively. These and so many other FMD creatures are alive-retain what Frank calls their "immense vitality"-not because they're just skillfully drawn types or facets of human beings but because, acting withing plausible and morally compelling plots, they dramatize the profoundest parts of all humans, the parts most conflicted, most serious-the ones with the most at stake. Plus, without ever ceasing to be 3-D individuals, Dostoevsky's characters manage to embody whole ideologies and philosophie ~ David Foster Wallace
Maverick quotes by David Foster Wallace
Managing an advertising agency isn't all beer and skittles. After fourteen years of it, I have come to the conclusion that the top man has one principle responsibility: to provide an atmosphere in which creative mavericks can do useful work. ~ David Ogilvy
Maverick quotes by David Ogilvy
Indeed, the construction of a global telegraph network was widely expected, by Briggs and Maverick among others, to result in world peace: 'It is impossible that old prejudices and hostilities should longer exist, while such an instrument has been created for the exchange of thought between all the nations of the earth.' ~ Tom Standage
Maverick quotes by Tom Standage
It is a strange, repetitive feature of action movies that the infuriating go-by-the-rules boss of the maverick hero is almost invariably Black.) ~ David Graeber
Maverick quotes by David Graeber
Innovation is deviance which means that the rebellious personality is a natural resource for practical creativity. As an innovator, you need to reject the old to establish a new, better, status quo. And one of the most powerful sources of newness is the rebel or maverick, mind. ~ Max McKeown
Maverick quotes by Max McKeown
I kissed his forehead and then his temples. I kissed every place on his face all except his lips. I got close, but never full on the lips. I gave every place on his face my full attention. Maverick quietly said to me, "You missed a spot Charlie."
"I'm pretty sure I didn't," I replied.
"No Charlie, you did and I'm not waiting anymore for you to give it the attention that it so desperately deserves. ~ Heather Gunter
Maverick quotes by Heather Gunter
Dirty Harry, for example. Clint Eastwood was not a rogue cop. He was a maverick cop, but he was a good guy. ~ Charlton Heston
Maverick quotes by Charlton Heston
There is a madness in me that does not follow society. ~ Avijeet Das
Maverick quotes by Avijeet Das
Mind control of individuals, the general population and even assets of the Web is aimed at ensuring there are no surprises, maverick behaviour or situations and responses the Elite can't predict. ~ David Icke
Maverick quotes by David Icke
The herd instinct seems to be the strongest human emotion, one that the race is constantly breeding off as the mavericks are liquidated. Happiness is running with the crowd. ~ John Train
Maverick quotes by John Train
Micah knew the power of a look. When two people touched from across a distance, that touch could be frightening, wary, or a stroke of gentleness. He stroked her gently. He never let his eyes dip below her chin; rather, he let himself take in every nuance of expression, every shift of each facial motion, the flicker of her lashes, the shadows in her eyes, the tension in her small body.
She was like a bird ready to fly. Poised at the edge of her seat, her body stiff and prepared to run. ~ Lora Leigh
Maverick quotes by Lora Leigh
If you're calling yourself a maverick and you're not Dirk Nowitzki, then you are probably not one. In fact, this rule applies to anyone declaring themselves a 'God-fearing Christian' or a 'Man of the people.' ~ Adam McKay
Maverick quotes by Adam McKay
I may be a maverick, but it doesn't mean I like playing tricks. ~ Chen Guangbiao
Maverick quotes by Chen Guangbiao
Goosing my own Maverick. ~ Caitlin Moran
Maverick quotes by Caitlin Moran
Be individual, break free from the flock to avoid the predictable midsummer haircut. ~ Fennel Hudson
Maverick quotes by Fennel Hudson
I personally believe mavericks are people who write their own rulebook.

They are the ones who act first and talk later. They are fiercely independent thinkers who know how to fight the lizard brain (to use Seth Godin's term).
I don't believe many are born, rather they are products of an environment, or their experiences.

They are usually the people that find the accepted norm does not meet their requirements and have the self-confidence, appetite, independence, degree of self reliance and sufficient desire to carve out their own niche in life.

I believe a maverick thinker can take a new idea, champion it, and push it beyond the ability of a normal person to do so. I also believe the best mavericks can build a team, can motivate with their vision, their passion, and can pull together others to accomplish great things. A wise maverick knows that they need others to give full form to their views and can gather these necessary contributors around them.

Mavericks, in my experience, fall into various categories – a/ the totally off-the-wall, uncontrollable genius who won't listen to anyone; b/ the person who thinks that they have the ONLY solution to a challenge but prepared to consider others' views on how to conquer the world &, finally, the person who thinks laterally to overcome problems considered to be irresolvable. I like in particular the third category.

The upside is that mavericks, because of their different ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Maverick quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
Maturity has much to do with self-discovery and exploration of self, but I think for those of us who have lived through and emerged out the other side of addictions, the need and desire to understand ourselves is particularly strong. As a regular and heavy drinker, I thought I was outgoing, flirtatious, bubbly, a little bit of a daredevil, something of a maverick. ~ Lucy Rocca
Maverick quotes by Lucy Rocca
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive. ~ Alan Rickman
Maverick quotes by Alan Rickman
American culture, perhaps more than any other, prizes individualism. Our narratives of art, politics, and business idolize the person who triumphs against the odds, with only himself or herself to answer to. The lone wolf. The stranger in town. The maverick. The plucky kid. The Final Girl. You've only got yourself, in the end. It's all up to you. ~ Andi Zeisler
Maverick quotes by Andi Zeisler
Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb. ~ Lewis H. Lapham
Maverick quotes by Lewis H. Lapham
What sort of person experimentally infests a child with maggots? A confident sort, certainly. A maverick. Someone comfortable with the unpretty facts of biology. Someone who is perhaps himself an unpretty fact of biology. ~ Mary Roach
Maverick quotes by Mary Roach
I would rather be damned by my honesty, than caged by my lies. ~ Omega Maverick
Maverick quotes by Omega Maverick
The critical ingredient is a maverick mind. Focus on trading vehicles, strategies and time horizons that suit your personality. In a nutshell, it all comes down to: Do your own thing (independence); and do the right thing (discipline). ~ Gil Blake
Maverick quotes by Gil Blake
There is no 'Top Gun 2' in which Maverick is not the starring role. ~ Christopher McQuarrie
Maverick quotes by Christopher McQuarrie
Somebody asked me what do you regret. I said, well I was offered the role of Maverick in 'Top Gun' and I turned it down. ~ Scott Baio
Maverick quotes by Scott Baio
It's been one year, eight months, twenty-one days, and fifteen hours since the first time I laid eyes on Maverick Hart. ~ Rachel Robinson
Maverick quotes by Rachel  Robinson
Nowadays, ads don't just sell a product. They sell an attitude! Look at this one! Here's a cool guy saying nobody tells him what to do. He does whatever he wants and he buys this product as a reflection of that independence. So basically, this maverick is urging everyone to express his individuality through conformity in brand-name selection? ~ Bill Watterson
