It is easier to apologize than to get permission.
Grace Hopper
Image
I believe art prefers rules. For some artists, the worst thing you can do is say 'Do whatever you want.' Such permission can be terrifying. I know it is for me. Often it's better if you impose rules or restrictions on a project. Requirements can force you to be creative in unusual ways.
Lisa Mangum

If, before undertaking some action, you must obtain the permission of society-you are not free, whether such permission is granted to you or not. Only a slave acts on permission. A permission is not a right.
Ayn Rand
Image
Gaiaguys are free to think for themselves, and since their translations of our texts - even if these are of a preliminary nature - are sought for by many people, we see no reason for withdrawing our permission.
Billy Meier
Image
You owe the companies nothing. You especially don't owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
Banksy
Image
Freedom is coming to mean little more than the right to ask permission.
Joseph Sobran
Image
No matter what the legislature may say, a man has the right to make his speech, print his handbill, compose his newspaper, and deliver his sermon without asking anyone's permission. The contrary suggestion is abhorrent to our traditions.
William O. Douglas

I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.
Jack Adams

This book is pointing the way into it for people that see it as daunting or a mystery. Some people just do it, but others need help with the mindset, permission almost to listen to themselves. Understanding how things work is the key.
Sally Schneider

Give yourself permission to do what you've always wanted.
Chris Guillebeau

It used to be the boast of free men that, so long as they kept within the bounds of the known law, there was no need to ask anybody's permission or to obey anybody's orders. It is doubtful whether any of us can make this claim today.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
I was given permission to serve myself Communion, with wine and a wafer, on the surface on the Moon. But I was advised not to say anything about it at the time. Someone had strongly objected to the Apollo 8 crew reading from the Bible. We didn't want to get into any further trouble with the religious critics.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
If you decide that you cannot beat a temptation, what you are really doing is giving yourself permission to be irresponsible.
Gary Zukav
Image
I think people are entitled to march without a permit. When you have a few hundred thousand people on the street you have permission.
Tom Hayden
Image
Once you give an NFL player permission to have thoughts, you invite all kinds of mischief.
Matt Taibbi
Image
It is important to remember that when it comes to law, computers never make copies, only human beings make copies. Computers are given commands, not permission. Only people can be given permission.
Brad Templeton
Image
Poets are being pursued by the philosophers today, out of the poverty of philosophy. God damn it, you might think a man had no business to be writing, to be a poet unless some philosophic stinker gave him permission.
William Carlos Williams
Image
When God saves you, he doesn’t do it because you gave him permission. He did it because he’s God.
Matt Chandler
Image
Surrounded by military airplanes and warships from the world's most civilized and developed nations, we have been denied permission by friendly governments, for reasons of security, to land anywhere, but in the tiny, and still neutral, Republic of Djibouti.
Thor Heyerdahl
Image
Stop looking for permission to pursue your dreams! They are YOUR dreams and you don't need a co-signer to chase them!
Eric Thomas
Image
It's just so out of control. Life, I mean. The way it flies off in all these different directions without your permission.
Sara Zarr
Image
No one can manage you if you don't give them permission to do so. But if you are interested in accomplishing as much as you are capable of, then I believe there are good reasons to grant that permission.
David Maister
Image
George Bush doesn't care about black people... They're saying black families are looting and white families are just looking for food... they're giving the (Army) permission to shoot us.
Kanye West
Image
For instance, in group therapy, I'll have people stand up, show off, give a speech about themselves as though they've just died and have to give a eulogy. Even with this explicit permission - even an order - to say something nice about themselves, this is the hardest thing in the world for people to do. They'd rather take their clothes off.
