“I love arguing. I always say that I'll never win a physical battle, but I can always win a mental battle. I mean, not really, because I never really argue with anyone.” MeanI CanWinningBattleArguing Author:Shailene Woodley
“The motion picture is like journalism in that, more than any of the other arts, it confers celebrity. Not just on people - on acts, and objects, and places, and ways of life. The camera brings a kind of stardom to them all. I therefore doubt that film can ever argue effectively against its own material: that a genuine antiwar film, say, can be made on the basis of even the ugliest battle scenes ... No matter what filmmakers intend, film always argues yes.” PeopleWayKindArtMadeMatterFilmDoubtObjectsMaterialsSceneBattleBasesCamerasNo Matter WhatArguingGenuineJournalismFilmmakerMovieAntiwarMotion PicturesStardom Author:Renata Adler
“In battle, combatants engaged in war against America get no due process and may lawfully be killed. But citizens not in a battlefield - however despicable - are guaranteed a trial by our Constitution. No one argues that Americans who commit treason shouldn't be punished. The maximum penalty for treason is death. But the Constitution specifies the process necessary to convict.” MayWarRealityAmericaFatherPoliticsProcessCommunityJusticeHistoryTechnologyDemocracyViolenceGenerationsPolicyCitizensBattleEqualEthicsConstitutionHuman RightsTerrorismDuesArguingTrialsCommitIdeologyEngagedFree SpeechPenaltiesMaximumEqual RightsDeath PenaltyBattlefieldsTreasonDespicableConvictsDue Process Author:Rand Paul
“Puerto Ricans are Americans. We've been American citizens since 1917. We fought the same battles, made the same sacrifices. We've lost our land in the same way that Native Americans lost their land, and we've been the subject of discrimination and racism in the same way that African Americans have. We've suffered the full spectrum of oppression, and yet we've been off the map 4,000 miles away so we haven't even been able to argue our case.” WayMadeAbleLostCasesSacrificeLandSubjectsHavensCitizensBattleRacismArguingMilesDiscriminationOppressionAfrican AmericanNativeMapsNative AmericanSpectrumAmerican CitizensMiles AwayDiscrimination And Racism Author:Nelson Antonio Denis
“As Walt Whitman correctly surmised, we are large and we harbor multitudes within us. And those multitudes are locked in chronic battle. There is an ongoing conversation among the different factions in your brain, each competing to control the single output channel of your behavior. As a result, you can accomplish the strange feats of arguing with yourself, cursing at yourself, and cajoling yourself to do something - feats that modern computers simply do not do.” DifferentResultsBrainModernStrangeBattleConversationBehaviorComputerAccomplishArguingLockedMultitudesCompetingOngoingHarborsFeatsFactionsOutputWaltCursing Author:David Eagleman
“You can win as long as you chose your battles. You can win more arguments then you might think as a writer, even though you legally have no recourse, and your script can get muddied and altered in any way possible. You can use reason, logic, and passion to argue persuasively for a case in your favor. So what I've learned is to just basically not buckle - not be belligerent, not be angry, not throw fits, but just not buckle.” ThinkingLongReasonPassionWinningFitBattleArgumentLogicArguingYou Can Win Author:Shane Black
“You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.” IfsYearsFirstsImportantGuyEnergyPathFourBattleDollarsDinnerArguingResistanceFour YearsCentsCandyHandicappedDilbertPath Of Least ResistanceMentally Handicapped Author:Scott Adams
