In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.
Anne Rice
Image
There are two kinds of friendship: one is genuine affection, the other is inability to refuse.
Umberto Eco
Image
I refuse to eat a fried egg if the white is still runny or transparent. I really can't be doing it. I always have to flip it over.

What you love, you will love. What you undertake you will complete. You are a fulfiller of hope you are to be relied on. But seventeen years give little armor against despair...Consider, Arren. To refuse death is to refuse life.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Prayer offered without faith by a person that doesn't truly believe God exists will not be effective. Sin in our lives that we refuse to confess will also render our prayers ineffective.
Anne Graham Lotz

You can't spend your whole life criticizing something and then, when you have the chance to do it better, refuse to go near it.
Vaclav Havel
Image
So long as we refuse to include lottery tickets among the symphonies, or medical bulletins among the overtures, we must refrain from treating the emotions as an aesthetic monopoly of music in general or a certain piece of music in particular.
Eduard Hanslick

I am truly miserable - more so than I like to acknowledge to myself. Pride refuses to aid me. It has brought me into the scrape, and will not help me out of it.
Anne Bronte
Image
Life is stronger than you are, even when you deny it, even when you neglect it, even when you refuse to admit it.
Anna Gavalda
Image
All that a pacifist can undertake -- but it is a very great deal -- is to refuse to kill, injure or otherwise cause suffering to another human creature, and untiringly to order his life by the rule of love though others may be captured by hate.
Vera Brittain
Image
I grant men the land, the government, the wealth, all the chances. I accept that you have to hold all the cards, since that's the only way you know how to play but I refuse to swallow your disrespect.
Pierre Beaumarchais
Image
Maturity is the ability to harness your abilities and your energies and do more than is expected. The mature person refuses to settle for mediocrity. He/she would rather aim high and miss the mark than low-and make it.
Ann Landers
Image
There's been another mass shooting by a crazy person, and liberals still refuse to consider institutionalizing the dangerously mentally ill.
Ann Coulter
Image
I'll have to keep looking for more of them, more brief moments of freedom in a world that refuses to allow it.
Veronica Roth
Image
I see a lot of young female performers who do not call themselves feminist, but would certainly believe in their own right to self-determination, and wouldn't want anybody to stop them from becoming themselves. They just refuse to recognize the relationship between their lives and those of other women, or feel any solidarity there.
Ani DiFranco
Image
We cannot anticipate the moral circumstances under which we will live. And therefore [I refuse] to say that I will not live in a moral circumstance that requires violence.
George Friedman
Image

If you look at my collaborations, it is very much in line with all these others in the sense that it is a building of community, particularly among artists of color. This is what I learned from the example of elder African-American artists, which is where it is all coming from to refuse to be silenced.
Vijay Iyer

In a world where women are commodities, a woman who refuses to sell herself will have the thing she refuses to sell taken away from her by force
Angela Carter

Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It's a state of mind-you could call it character in action.
Vince Lombardi
Image
You can't influence people you refuse to associate with.
Andy Stanley
Image
If you grant asylum to so many refugees, your house may be sacked sooner by the soldiers I see that clearly. The question is, however, whether, because of this danger, you should refuse to practice such a beautiful virtue as charity.
Vincent de Paul
Image
I refuse to apologize for my ability -- I refuse to apologize for my success -- I refuse to apologize for my money. If this is evil, make the most of it.
