Zitat des Tages über Umstritten / Controversial:

I like an interesting movie even if it's controversial or offensive, depending on your taste. Adam Brody

There are people who can talk sensibly about a controversial issue; they're called humorists.

Cullen Hightower

For me it's more important that I outline all the facets of a controversial issue and let the reader make up his or her mind. I don't care if readers change their minds, but I would like readers to ask themselves why their opinion is what it is.

Jodi Picoult

I was very willing to take on controversial roles that people didn't really want to look at.

Rosie Perez

If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature.

Julian Assange

Science, innovation, safety and affordability. Who could oppose United States food policy based on these core principles? Unfortunately, this idea has become unnecessarily controversial in agriculture.

I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.

Shakira

Controversial proposals, once accepted, soon become hallowed.

Dean Acheson

Abortion is a hard thing for Hollywood to deal with because it is so controversial and you don't want to alienate half your audience by sending one message or the other.

Cynthia Nixon

Scientists generally are really chicken about getting involved in some kind of dispute. As a broadcaster, I find it very difficult to urge them, if it is a controversial subject. They don't want to have science being portrayed badly.

David Suzuki

Under the common law, one of the more controversial rules is the 'no duty to rescue rule' that says that, if you were not responsible for placing someone in danger or risk, you have no obligation to help them, even when it would cost little to save their life.

Jonathan Turley

It is a virtual reflex for governments to plead security concerns when they undertake any controversial action, often as a pretext for something else.

The very controversial National Identification Act of 1991, requiring all United States citizens to carry identification, has greatly enhanced the ability of law enforcement officers to identify criminals and terrorists.

Richard Lamm

All I've wanted to be is someone people look up to. It's funny - everyone says I'm controversial. I've never worked out what it is about me that's controversial. I've never had a DUI; I've never been in a brawl; you've never seen photos of me walking out of clubs at 5 A.M.

Ruby Rose

Senator Helms might very well do that. I would point out to him that we in the art world are not necessarily in the business of making controversial art.

Jane Alexander

Just because someone is holding a gun doesn't make an image controversial. It all depends on where you put the gun, who is holding it.

Carine Roitfeld

I love my 'Survivor's Remorse' cast. They are so funny and crazy, like a big dysfunctional family. It's so much fun, and I love the issues that we talk about on that show. We deal with nuanced and controversial issues, and we do it in a way that's funny. It's comedy.

Teyonah Parris

One of the most powerful defences the media can offer for controversial actions is, of course, public interest.

Rowan Williams

There was time in the first half of the '80s when what I was saying on the stage was controversial. A lot of things I was talking about - Nicaragua and American foreign policy.

Kris Kristofferson

Under Pope Francis, we have seen a change at the Vatican that is reflective of the church I know and love. He approaches controversial doctrine or past wrongdoing with humility, understanding, and faith in the goodness of mankind. He has served as a voice for the voiceless and has been working to re-establish the church as a home for the homeless.

Donna Brazile

Decentralisation is controversial - but that's fine. We should be fearless about having a debate.

I would just like my children to be able to eat fish when they grow up. Now, I don't think there's anything controversial about that.

James Murdoch

In my view, targeted lethal force is at its least controversial when it is on its strongest, most traditional legal foundation. The essential mission of the U.S. military is to capture or kill an enemy. Armies have been doing this for thousands of years. As part of a congressionally authorized armed conflict, the foundation is even stronger.

Jeh Johnson

Good political leadership for me involves getting the big decisions right - however difficult, however controversial, however potentially divisive - and then being able to take people with you.

Charles Kennedy

What we ought not do is play politics with those who've been afflicted by disasters. This should not be controversial. Stop playing politics, do the right thing for the country and let's make sure we're not making politics with disaster relief.

David Plouffe

I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.

Bjorn Borg

First rule of change is controversy. You can't get away from it for the simple reason all issues are controversial. Change means movement, and movement means friction, and friction means heat, and heat means controversy.

Saul Alinsky

I was a controversial figure on my reservation when I was a kid. I was mouthy and opinionated and arrogant. Nothing has changed.

Sherman Alexie

Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial.

Seth Lloyd

If you're not controversial, you'll never break through the din of all the commentary.

Roger Stone

I kicked down doors to show that Hiphop has matured. And it may be a little controversial.

Slick Rick

As an artist, I try and be controversial, and I have been a bit offensive at times. I have a view on the burka, and I'm sure a few of the Muslim girls and their families would have a view of me on stage in next to nothing!

Jessie J

I think artists throughout the history of time have always been controversial and have been a voice to speak to public culture in a way that a politician can't because they'll lose their constituency.

Mark Foster

I'll never tell a lie. I'll never make a misleading statement. I'll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I'll never avoid a controversial issue.

Jimmy Carter

Sense data are much more controversial than qualia, because they are associated with a controversial theory of perception - that one perceives the world by perceiving one's sense-data, or something like that.

To be honest, after all the crap that happened with 'Summer Heights High,' I was like, 'I'm not going to write anything controversial or edgy ever again; I just can't handle the blame.'
