“Equivocation is half-way to lying, and lying the whole way to hell”
William Penn
“I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch- and I will be heard!”
“It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him off.”
William Shakespeare
“Religion is dogmatic. Politic is ideological. Reason must be logical, but literature has a privilege of being equivocal,”
Carlos Fuentes
“Nothing seems more like a whorehouse to me than a museum. In it you find the same equivocal aspect, the same frozen quality.”
Michel Leiris
“I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places”
Mark Twain
