As a gut thing, my next project is always the complete opposite of the thing I've just done. So if I've spent a lot of time doing film, I might then do some radio.
Armando Iannucci
Image
The simultaneous existence of opposite virtues in the soul like pincers to catch hold of God.
Simone Weil
Image
The personal qualities necessary for attaining office are practically the opposite of those demanded by the office itself. The trouble with the damn system is that it selects for the skills needed to get elected, and nothing else. A test that you can only pass by cheating can't possibly select honest people.
James P. Hogan
Image
When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f**k was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense. It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me.
Sean Penn

When somebody tells you they're not very smart, they're saying exactly the opposite.
Tim Allen
Image
That's nonsense in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

Marlon Brando was the absolute opposite of everything they told me he was going to be, which is that he was a testy guy who wants to know that he's in control of everything. But, that's not who Marlon was. No matter what he did, the most important thing on his mind was justice.
Johnny Depp

The interest of the dealers, however, in any particular branch of trade or manufactures, is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public. To widen the market and to narrow the competition, is always the interest of the dealers.
Adam Smith

Peace means far more than the opposite of war.
Fred Rogers
Image
There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
In Shakespearean tragedy the main source of the convulsion which produces suffering and death is never good: good contributes to this convulsion only from its tragic implication with its opposite in one and the same character.
Andrew Coyle Bradley
Image
I decided on a vision. I think I maybe join Toyota at the midpoint of a project, whose long-term goal is winning world championships. Also I have my big ambition, the drivers' world championship. That is not abandoned - entirely the opposite. I am young enough and motivated enough to make a new start in order to reach this goal.
Michael Schumacher
Image
Evil is not a thing. It cannot take possession of you. It's the opposite it's a void, an absence of goodness. The only thing you can be frightened of here is yourself.
Jo Nesbo
Image
You can't raise a child to believe the opposite of what you do.
Cassandra Clare
Image
In film, you have to present everything on the screen so it's the opposite of what I usually do with storytelling. It forced me to think about how people walk, where they sit at that moment. With Princess of Nebraska, it was just fun to watch because the movie was so far from the story. It was very much a different story.
Yiyun Li

The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.
Jim Hightower
Image
When two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly half way between. It is possible for one side simply to be wrong.
Richard Dawkins
Image
It is the opposite of ignorance—it is intellectual honesty: to be willing to accept reality and to call things what they are even when it is hard.
Todd Burpo

Same-sex marriage is so ingrained in the culture now that when you're talking about regular, good old-fashioned marriage, you have to say opposite-sex marriage to let people know what you're talking about. Just describing, just talking about marriage doesn't let anybody know what you mean anymore. You have to specify opposite-sex marriage.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
I had a mother who was very developed psychically and spiritually. She was, in a way, an opposite of my father, a complete liberal, interested in woman's liberation before it was the fashion.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
So, rather than becoming multicultural, rather than becoming a person of several languages, rather than becoming confident in your knowledge of the world, you become just the opposite. You end up in college having to apologize for the fact that you no longer speak your native language.
Richard Rodriguez
Image
A lot of those people aren't their best salesmen. They're the opposite of a salesperson and I think there's something attractive about that.
John Turturro
Image
Women's liberation will not be achieved until a woman can become paunchy and bald and still think she's attractive to the opposite sex.
