“Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances”
Mark Twain
“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
Anais Nin
“Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up.”
Chinese Proverbs
“We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“My definition of social justice: those who refuse to work deserve to go hungry.”
Clayton Cramer
“They had to work fast. The Taiwanese refused to leave without the body and were dragging it with them.”
Capt. Burrel Parmer
“It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.”
William Somerset Maugham
