Famous quotes containing the word dissent:

    Though dissenters seem to question everything in sight, they are actually bundles of dusty answers and never conceived a new question. What offends us most in the literature of dissent is the lack of hesitation and wonder.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

    We live in oppressive times. We have, as a nation, become our own thought police; but instead of calling the process by which we limit our expression of dissent and wonder “censorship,” we call it “concern for commercial viability.”
    David Mamet (b. 1947)
