“I'm really not interested in other people's opinions, because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts.” PeopleThinkingOpinionAirBallsHotSacredValuableEndlessOur SocietyNot InterestedHot Air Author:Buzz Bissinger
“It is curious to observe the triumph of slight incidents over the mind; and what incredible weight they have in forming and governing our opinions, both of men and things, that trifles light as air shall waft a belief into the soul, and plant it so immovable within it, that Euclid's demonstrations, could they be brought to batter it in breach, should not all have power to overthrow it!” MenShouldMindSoulLightBeliefOpinionAirWeightPlantIncrediblesCuriousTriumphIncidentsDemonstrationGoverningTriflesBreachEuclid Author:Laurence Sterne

“There is not such a mighty difference as some men imagine between the poor and the rich; in pomp, show, and opinion, there is a great deal, but little as to the pleasures and satisfactions of life. They enjoy the same earth and air and heavens; hunger and thirst make the poor man's meat and drink as pleasant and relishing as all the varieties which cover the rich man's table; and the labor of a poor man is more healthful, and many times more pleasant, too, than the ease and softness of the rich.” MenLittlesShowsEarthHeavenEnjoyDifferencesPleasurePoorDealsOpinionPovertyRichImagineAirDrinkLaborTablesHungerSatisfactionVarietyEaseMeatPleasantThirstRich ManPoor ManSoftnessHunger And Thirst Author:Thomas Sherlock
“Speaking of opinions, the charming woman does not air hers very freely. The crude woman is eager to let you know what she thinks of every matter, person or object that bobs up. She comments on every passing item - even in public, as you may have noticed. Not only is it bad taste for her to be so desperately interested in her own reactions and opinions - but she throws away the precious aura of reserve and mystery that makes a woman attractive.” ThinkingKnowsMayPersonsDoeMatterOpinionAirMysteryObjectsTasteReactionsPassingPassingsAttractiveCommentBobReservesCharmingItemsCrudeAurasBad TasteCharming Woman Author:Margery Wilson
“My opinion has always been this, that you ought to never give up as long as you live, even though they have stolen everything from you. If nothing else, you can always call the air you breath your own, or at any rate you can claim that you have it on loan. Yes, lass, last night I ate stolen bread and left my son among men who are going to use pick-handles on the authorities, so I thought I might just as well look you up this morning.” IfsMenGivingWellsLooksLongUseMightLastsNightLeftOpinionMorningAirSonOughtGiving UpAuthorityPicksClaimsBreathsRateHandleBreadMy SonStolenNever Giving UpLast NightLoan Author:Halldór Laxness
“We ought not to believe those who today, adopting a philosophical air and with a tone of superiority, prophesy the decline of culter and are content with the unknowable in a self-satisfied way. For us there is no unknowable, and in my opinion there is also non whatsoever for the natural sciences. In place of this foolish unknowable, let our watchword on the contrary be: we must know - we shall know.” KnowsWayBelieveSelfTodayNaturalOpinionAirOughtPhilosophicalContraryFoolishSatisfiedToneDeclineSuperiorityAdoptingNatural Science Author:David Hilbert
“Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with an its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.” HumansLongLightActionNaturalOpinionAliveAirConscienceDirectMedicineInjusticeCreatorSurfaceTensionCoveredExposedExposureUglinessDirect ActionCovered Up Book:Why We Can't Wait Source: Why We Can't Wait
