“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.”
Albert Einstein
“As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.”
William Blake
“He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
“When the people of a nation out of sincere ignorance, conscientious stupidity, and/or apathy cheer and support liars and murderers like Bush and Blair they are breeding contempt for the laws of the land. These people will find themselves, sooner rather than later, surrounded by incomprehensible evil wherever they go. They become more like fish in a barrel than people.”
Bobby W. Miller
“There is one principle that can keep a man in everlasting ignorance. That is contempt prior to investigation.”
Herbert Spencer
“Familiarity breeds contempt - and children”
Mark Twain
“Man is so much more sensitive to the contempt of others than to contempt for himself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
