“Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a "sense" of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found.

“[Socialists claim] that we reject fraternity, solidarity, organization, and association; and they brand us with the name of individualists. We can assure them that what we repudiate is not natural organization, but forced organization. It is not free association, but the forms of association that they would impose upon us. It is not spontaneous fraternity, but legal fraternity. It is not providential solidarity, but artificial solidarity, which is only an unjust displacement of responsibility. Socialism . . . confounds Government and society.” GovernmentFormNamesNaturalResponsibilityOrganizationClaimsSocialismBrandsRejectsAssociationArtificialSolidaritySpontaneousUnjustFraternityDisplacementGovernment And Society Author:Frederic Bastiat
“When one turns from reason to faith, when one rejects the absolutism of reality, one undercuts the absolutism of one's consciousness - and one's mind becomes an organ one cannot trust any longer. It becomes what the mystics claim it to be: a tool of distortion.” MindReasonRealityTurnsConsciousnessToolsClaimsRejectsOrgansDistortionAbsolutism Book:The Virtue of Selfishness Source: The Virtue of Selfishness

“We have to find a way of understanding how one category of sex can be "assigned" from both and another sense of sex can lead us to resist and reject that sex assignment. How do we understand that second sense of sex? It is not the same as the first - it is not an assignment that others give us. But maybe it is an assignment we give ourselves? If so, do we not need a world of others, linguistic practices, social institutions, and political imaginaries in order to move forward to claim precisely those categories we require, and to reject those that work against us?” IfsWorldWayNeedsGivingFirstsMovingPoliticalOrderSocialSexUnderstandingPracticeClaimsInstitutionsMoving ForwardRejectsCategoriesAssignmentsSocial Institutions Author:Judith Butler
“Indeed, some secularists are so worried about Christianity, they think Christians are about as dangerous as Muslim terrorists. They get really worried when we don't invest our lives in this-worldly concerns. They look on us as unpredictable free agents. When we reject their relativism and make absolutist spiritual claims, they look at us as nervously as they would a terrorist with a suicide bomb strapped to his back. Of course, Christians are not into coercion in any form. But it is very hard to persuade secularists of that.” ThinkingLooksHardChristianSpiritualFormCoursesChristianityOur LivesDangerousConcernClaimsSuicideTerroristAgentsWorriedBombsRejectsUnpredictableWorldlyGet RealCoercionRelativismFree AgentsMuslim Terrorists Author:Mark Dever
