I never attended a creative writing class in my life. I have a horror of them.
Zadie Smith
Image
Democracy is necessarily despotism, as it establishes an executive power contrary to the general will all being able to decide against one whose opinion may differ, the will of all is therefore not that of all: which is contradictory and opposite to liberty.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The opposite of fear is love - love of the challenge, love of the work, the pure joyous passion to take a shot at our dream and see if we can pull it off.
Steven Pressfield
Image
Democracy is the opposite of totalitarianism, communism, fascism, or mobocracy.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
At first opposites attract. Then opposites attack.
Rick Warren
Image
But there is that about well-intentioned advice that has the opposite effect of the one intended, and causes a Spanish fly of perversity to enter into the hitherto passive soul.
Caitlin Thomas

If you want to pontificate, I'm certainly willing to pontificate. That's why Joely was laughing because you don't know what you asked for. Malcolm Gladwell, in his newest book David and Goliath, writes about how sometimes things that we think of as handicaps often times are just the opposite. Or the reverse is also true.
Bruce Greenwood
Image
Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
Dalai Lama

People compare me to Angelina Jolie, and she's so serious and stoic. I'm the opposite.
Megan Fox
Image
I think despair and cynicism are two different things. On the flip side of hope is despair. Belief and doubt are the same thing, in that to believe something you have to actively doubt the opposite. And from my perspective, that's the deep end. You're dealing with the unknown you're dealing with mystery.
Jon Foreman

Well, I kind of think that the opposite is true. The customer is rarely right. And that is why you must seize the control of the circumstance and dominate every last detail: to guarantee that they're going to have a far better time than they ever would have had if they tried to control it themselves.
Charlie Trotter
Image
I think life is difficult and that's that. I am not at all - absolutely not at all - interested in the pursuit of happiness. I am not interested in the pursuit of positivity. I am interested in pursuing a truth, and the truth often seems to be not happiness but its opposite.
Jamaica Kincaid
Image
Love is the opposite of power. That's why we fear it so much.
Gregory David Roberts
Image
The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.
Rollo May
Image
Repentance, not proper behavior or even holiness, is the doorway to grace. And the opposite of sin is grace, not virtue.
Philip Yancey
Image
There was once a strange, small man. He decided three important details about his life: 1. He would part his hair from the opposite side to everyone else. 2. He would make himself a small, strange mustache. 3. He would one day rule the world. ...Yes, the Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words.
Markus Zusak
Image
Playing an old record doesn't interest me at all. It's exactly the opposite of what I want to do.
Michael Gira
Image
It's a character I've created. Actually, that's pretty much the opposite of me, off a farm in the Midwest.
Douglas Wilson
Image
My upbringing was absolutely not the archetypal writer's upbringing. Even, arguably, the opposite.
Graham Swift
Image
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You receive from the world what you give to the world.
Gary Zukav
Image
In life's work, bliss and sacrifice are two sides of the same coin, complementary opposites.
Laurence Boldt
Image
And then, going to high school, I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn't fit into that. So I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup, to have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
In all of my looking at happiness, one thing I noticed right away is that the opposite of happiness isn't unhappiness or even depression, it's anxiety. It is something that can constantly block our happiness, or our chance to reach that sort of meditative state in our work or our home lives.
Ariel Gore
Image
I owe a great deal of thanks to this man who will be gracious enough to say I've helped him with his career and comeback, but it's every bit the opposite.
