Reject

Famous quotes containing the word reject:

“Once women begin to question the inevitability of their subordination and to reject the conventions formerly associated with it, they can no longer retreat to the safety of those conventions. The woman who rejects the stereotype of feminine weakness and dependence can no longer find much comfort in the cliché that all men are beasts. She has no choice except to believe, on the contrary, that men are human beings, and she finds it hard to forgive them when they act like animals.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

“The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“I reject all evidence that my fabulous beloved is an ordinary person who worries, watches TV, and has bouts of indigestion.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
