“Much that is dreadful and inhuman in history, much that one hardly likes to believe, is mitigated by the reflection that the one who commands and the one who carries out are different people. The former does not behold the sight and does not experience the strong impression on the imagination. The latter obeys a superior and therefore feels no responsibility for the acts.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.”
Oscar Wilde
“Marriage, A History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage.”
Stephanie Coontz
“He that cannot obey, cannot command.”
Benjamin Franklin
“The purpose of problems is to push you toward obedience to God's laws, which are exact and cannot be changed. We have the free will to obey them or disobey them. Obedience will bring harmony, disobedience will bring you more problems.”
Peace Pilgrim
“Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.”
“Let thy child's first lesson be obedience, and the second may be what thou wilt.”
