Sunnybrook Farm is now a parking lot the petticoats are in the garbage can, where they belong in the modern world and I detest censorship.
Shirley Temple
Image
All transitory titles I detest a virtuous life I mean to boast alone. Our birth's our sires' our virtues be our own.
Michael Drayton
Image
Most of us are aware of and pretend to detest the barefaced instances of that hypocrisy by which men deceive others, but few of us are upon our guard or see that more fatal hypocrisy by which we deceive and over-reach our own hearts.
Laurence Sterne
Image
I like commas. I detest semi-colons — I don’t think they belong in a story. And I gave up quotation marks long ago. I found I didn’t need them, they were fly-specks on the page.
E. L. Doctorow
Image
I detest politics, to be honest with you. It's a cesspool. And I don't think I would fare well in that cesspool because I don't believe in political correctness and I certainly don't believe in dishonesty.
Benjamin Carson
Image
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
Alexander Pope
Image
He [George Washington Cable] has taught me to abhor and detest the Sabbath day and hunt up new and troublesome ways to dishonor it.
Mark Twain
Image
I hate and detest Sicily in so far as I love it, and in so far as it does not respond to the kind of love I would like to have for it.
Leonardo Sciascia
Image
For though a man should be a complete unbeliever in the being of gods if he also has a native uprightness of temper, such persons will detest evil in men their repugnance to wrong disinclines them to commit wrongful acts they shun the unrighteous and are drawn to the upright.
Plato
Image
I detest converts almost as much as I do missionaries.
H. L. Mencken
Image
I detest acting because it is sheer drudgery.
Tallulah Bankhead
Image
I do not condemn any personal choices for intimate relationships. Love is love. I detest only the violence and trauma that any self-centered conduct can cause to others.
Akiane Kramarik
Image
I detest tradition for tradition's sake the half-alive that which is not real. I feel no hatred of individuals, but of customs, traditions superstitions that go against life, against truth, against the reality of experience, against the spontaneous living out of the sense of wonder-of fresh experience, freshly seen and communicated.
Alfred Stieglitz
Image
James Cain - faugh! Everything he touches smells like a billygoat. He is every kind of writer I detest, a faux naix, a Proust in greasy overalls, a dirty little boy with a piece of chalk and a board fence and nobody looking. Such people are the offal of literature, not because they write about dirty things, but because they do it in a dirty way.
Raymond Chandler
Image
I detest producing. I mean, I feel like I do it to enable myself to do all the other stuff that I do love, but I find it's in conflict with the other roles because the producer needs to be the one who says No and the director and the writer need to let their mind be free.
Julie Davis
Image
One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.
Christian Louboutin
Image
I think logicians hate my work, they detest it! And I'm like pornography, I'm sort of an unmentionable subject in the world of logic, because my results are so disgusting!
Gregory Chaitin
Image
I seldom have my stuff up unless I'm testing it. If I'm worrying about a painting, I put it up and see if I detest it quickly or slowly. Otherwise I have things by other artists.
Jenny Holzer
Image
The more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
I detest the Bible as I detest everything that is cruel.
Thomas Paine
Image
Mama says that satisfaction isn't what I should search for. Respect is. Respect? I detest that word. Probably because in this world you have to respect the wrong people for the wrong reasons.
Melina Marchetta
Image
I detest the man who hides on thing in the depths of his heart and speaks forth another.
Homer
Image
I detest legalism. I certainly don't want to try to pour new wine into old wineskins, imposing superseded First Covenant restrictions on Christians. But at the same time, every New Testament example of giving goes far beyond the tithe. However, none falls short of it.
Randy Alcorn
Image
Religion is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize humankind and, for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.
Thomas Paine
