Zitat des Tages über Gegen / Against:

I felt the pressure of imagination against the doors of my mind was so great that they were going to burst. J. G. Ballard

When we struggle, as so many do, in grinding poverty, or when our enemies prevail against us, or when sickness is not healed, the enemy of our souls can send his evil message that there is no God or that if He exists He does not care about us.

Henry B. Eyring

As soon as you pick up a guitar, you're up against the legends of rock. The same goes with stadium drum kits and electric bass. Essentially, you're already in a soundscape that's very familiar and has a lot of established legendary material recorded using those instruments.

Matt Bellamy

In the old days we were the challenger brand competing against the big banks, but today I go round the world and I sit with governors of central banks and finance ministers and, in some cases, prime ministers. They all know Travelex. We are regarded as the establishment - the world's largest retailer of foreign currency.

Lloyd Dorfman

As New York's chief law enforcement officer, I have taken a hard line against those in state government who abuse the law they have sworn to uphold.

The scientists who attack mainstream religion, rather than striving for peaceful coexistence with it, damage science, and also weaken the fight against fundamentalism.

Francis Atterbury

Like a good general, I treated everyone who wasn't with me as against me.

Michael Dukakis

When I started out, I was very vociferously against theatre or what I saw theatre as being, so I tried to make my plays the opposite of that - something a bit more cinematic. I'm a film kid, so I'll never have the same love of theatre as I do of movies. It's just the way I was brought up.

Martin McDonagh

I created a successful outdoor youth festival - the Liverd festival - against all good advice. It was a great way to explore and investigate social sculptures. Having that as my kind of studio, outside of a museum or precious white-cube gallery, that was a kind of education.

Natalie Jeremijenko

The Social Affairs Ministry and the police will continue to fight against the abuse of women and children. The ministry battles the harmful phenomenon of cults on a daily basis.

Arundhati Roy

I'm not against business. I'm against big business in bed with big government.

Dave Brat

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.

Carroll Shelby

Protest and anger practically always derives from hope, and the shouting out against injustice is always in the hope of those injustices being somewhat corrected and a little more justice established.

John Berger

The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity.

Frank Serpico

What do I have to cheat for? I've always been playing against people older than me anyways. So what do I have to cheat for?

Freddy Adu

The war on drugs is a war against the communities.

Grant Hill

Historically, the judicial branch has often been the sole protector of the rights of minority groups against the will of the popular majority.

Diane Watson

My detractors would be mistaken to believe that the allegations against me that had no basis and were all lies would distract me. I continue to do my job.

Jejomar Binay

As a defender, how much ground I cover isn't up to me. I'm defending against a forward, so her movement determines my movement.

Becky Sauerbrunn

I will continue to speak out against the views of both Limbaugh and Hannity when I feel it's warranted, meeting their free speech with my own. But I will never forget that, without them, I'd have a much smaller platform on which to do it.

Alan Colmes

I have been fighting - and winning - against Obama-era experiments with illegal amnesty.

Luther Strange

Far too many people, especially within evangelicalism, think that the individual is all that matters, and that the corporate dimension is a distraction or diversion.

N. T. Wright

When I won the Oscar, I made a point of actively going against that and doing adventure films like 'Con Air' and 'Gone in 60 Seconds,' not what would be expected.

Every court decision that strikes down discriminatory legislation, including past Supreme Court decisions, affirming the fundamental rights to marry the person you love, overrules a majority decision.

David Boies

The soles of the best writers, a professor once told me, are worn down to holes. This is an incomplete measure, but the image of a writer grinding his or her shoes against curbs and cobblestones stuck with me. The story is always out there, the details around the corner or down the alley.

David Ebershoff

It's so easy to use tired, shopworn figures of speech. I love using long, fancy words but have learned - mostly from writing my biography of Winston Churchill - that short, strong words work better. I am ever-vigilant against the passive and against jargon, both of which are so insidious.

Gretchen Rubin

I have some security that could protect me against provocations but of course there are more terrible actions that could not be stopped by any security.

Garry Kasparov

The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America. Those are moments that we have to celebrate: that people still find the resolve and energy to resist.

Danny Glover

Scandal is an importunate wasp, against which we must make no movement unless we are quite sure that we can kill it; otherwise it will return to the attack more furious than ever.

Nicolas Chamfort
