The anarch knows the rules. He has studied them as a historian and goes along with them as a contemporary. Wherever possible, he plays his own game within their framework this makes the fewest waves.
Ernst Junger
Image
I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing.
Zosia Mamet

As long as being a stranger and surrounded by strangers was seen as a temporary irritant, a smallest departure from the binding rules of conduct by a member of a minority, was taken for a major crime justifying deportation.

Two very simple rules: A. You don't have to write. B. You can't do anything else The rest comes of itself.
Raymond Chandler

The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships. Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts it is judgment rather than rules that prevail.
Elliot W. Eisner

Making English grammar conform to Latin rules is like asking people to play baseball using the rules of football.
Bill Bryson
Image
[Y]ou never come right out and admit you have stretched the rules for your own benefit. You do it and shut up about it, and hope you don't get caught, because if you are caught no one or no one who has any sense will come forward and say he has done the same thing himself.
Janet Malcolm
Image
The rules of marriage were simple and easy to follow: faithfulness, patience, compromise. But there were no rules to divorce, or if there were, he had not yet discovered them.
Donna Ball
Image
You have to observe a few simple rules in dressing, which are really not rules it's just being appropriate. If you're 70 and want to wear miniskirts, 70-year-old knees ain't pretty!
Iris Apfel
Image
I never had a set of rules. Every situation is different.
Red Auerbach

Feeble verses are those which sin not against rules, but against genius.
Voltaire

The good judge is not he who does hair-splitting justice to every allegation, but who, aiming at substantial justice, rules something intelligible of the guidance of suitors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Rules are foolish, arbitrary, mindless things that raise you quickly to a level of acceptable mediocrity, then prevent you from progressing further.
Bruce Barnbaum

What I liked about it is in the world of children, there are very, very different rules and a kind of naivete and innocence and sweetness that's been beautifully captured, I think, by this film as you can even see gesturing toward the film's poster on display nearby from this gorgeous artwork.
Russell Brand

Because ethics is fundamentally about questioning the ends, the goals and aims of our actions, we must come back to the rules and ask why. So we must return to the philosophy of law, the raison d'etre and the point of what we're asked to do. It's not easy, it's very demanding and it needs intellectual courage.
Tariq Ramadan
Image
It's a rough and tumble game whenever power is involved - people's ambitions, their desires, their competitive spirit will often push them to play outside the rules. It's dramatic, it's interesting, and I think it's something we can all identify with to a degree.
Beau Willimon
Image
Confucius is like the Torah, rules to follow. And Lao-Tzu is even more conservative, saying that if you do nothing you won't break any rules. You have to let tradition fall sometime, you have to take action, you have to eat bacon.
Christopher Moore
Image
To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament is affection to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar.
Francis Bacon
Image
Anxious, inexperienced writers obey rules. Rebellious, unschooled writers break rules. Artists master the form.
Robert McKee
Image
There are people who look at the rules and find ways to structure around them. The more complex the rules, the more opportunities.
