From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity, friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting.
Adam Clayton
Image
if you offer wisdom from a third party, it seems less arrogant and more acceptable.
Randy Pausch
Image
No one is calling any of these designers racist. The act itself is racist. There were more black models working in the Seventies than there are in 2013. This a time when silence is not acceptable at all. If the conversation cannot be had publicly in our industry, then there is something inherently wrong.
Iman Abdulmajid

I want to change the cycle of stigma and prejudice that destroys lives all over the world every day. Until we can get in front of people and awaken them to the idea that this is not acceptable.
Timothy Shriver
Image
I take it, therefore, to be a fact, that one's existence ends with death. I think it possible to show how this fact can be emotionally acceptable.
A.J. Ayer

You know, you look at the chaos in the conservative camp right now, it's only too tempting to blame it all on pot. But in fact, the Reagan revolution owes a lot to Reefer. For one thing, it's made the symptoms of senility socially acceptable.
A. Whitney Brown

I think it's important to represent black women and our natural hair. Not wearing a weave is totally beautiful and acceptable.
Zoe Kravitz
Image
People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.
Robin Williams

Children who are readers will develop acceptable levels of literacy.
Stephen D. Krashen
Image
There's one form of bigotry that is still acceptable in America - that's the bigotry against the successful.
Phil Gramm
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
Image
In 1977, at least, he wished to have people believe that he shared and was proud of an attitude toward women that is not acceptable in a politician. In 2003, all he has said is that he doesn't remember the interview.
Michael Kinsley

By mutual respect, understanding and with good will we can find acceptable solutions to any problems which exist or may arise between us.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
Production for the sake of production - the obsession with the rate of growth, whether in the capitalist market or in planned economies - leads to monstrous absurdities. The only acceptable finality of human activity is the production of a subjectivity that is auto-enriching its relation to the world in a continuous fashion.
Felix Guattari
Image
The law is a crude machine at best, and only spits out something approaching justice of its attendants are committed to justice. As lawyering has become less about doing right and more about doing what you can get away with, our standards of acceptable shenanigans-as-usual seem to be in a free fall.
Holman W. Jenkins, Jr.
Image
On radio and television, magazines and the movies, you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.
Bil Keane
Image
Women are brought up to think it's acceptable to pay attention to their faces. Men translate their discomfort into their behavior.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
Acceptable food rots while we are chased from bins behind restaurants, chased from sleeping on the street, chased from relieving ourselves unless we pay for food or gas, until finally we are so hungry, sleepless, smelly, constipated and beaten-down that we simply die of lack of will to live.
Jane Siberry

For a deeply religious purpose, there are people who do not personally believe that abortion is acceptable. I understand that. But this is a country where we don't impose religious beliefs on the entire country. This is a country where we accept differences of opinion.
Patty Murray
Image
Hence, at the moment of the creation of the universe, God could also have activated evolution, with full knowledge of how it would turn out, perhaps even including our having this conversation. The idea that he could both foresee the future and also give us spirit and free will to carry out our own desires becomes entirely acceptable.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I'm not insane, sir. I have a finely calibrated sense of acceptable risk.
John Scalzi
Image
But a little milk, butter and cheese are acceptable because no harm is done in obtaining them.
Sathya Sai Baba

THE REAL PURPOSE OF HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM IS TO MAKE NATIONAL SOCIALISM AN ACCEPTABLE POLITICAL ALTERNATIVE AGAIN.
