Sacrifices have to be made if you want to make a dent in the world, and that's what I started out to do - to make a dent in pop culture.

RuPaul

I've learned over a period of years there are setbacks when you come up against the immovable object; sometimes the object doesn't move.

Coleman Young

You see, feminists don't really like to define the Patriarchy. They prefer to keep it nebulous and amorphous so they can conveniently blame it for everything that goes wrong in their lives. Not being paid enough? Patriarchy! Not getting a promotion? Patriarchy! Too many catcalls? Patriarchy! Too few catcalls? Patriarchy!

Milo Yiannopoulos

Perhaps patriarchy's greatest psychological weapon is simply its universality and longevity. ... Patriarchy has a still more tenacious or powerful hold through its successful habit of passing itself off as nature.

Kate Millett

Where do you go to get permission to make a dent in the Universe ? If you think there's a chance you can make a dent, go !

Seth Godin

A life is such a strange object, at one moment translucent, at another utterly opaque, an object I make with my own hands, an object imposed on me, an object for which the world provides the raw material and then steals it from me again, pulverized by events, scattered, broken, scored yet retaining its unity; how heavy it is and how inconsistent: this contradiction breeds many misunderstandings.

Simone de Beauvoir

The irresistible force meets the immovable object.

Gorilla Monsoon

It is necessary that the object that the artist is shaping, whether it be a vase of clay or a fishing boat, be significant of something other than itself. This object must be a sign as well as an object; a meaning must animate it, and make it say more than it is.

Jacques Maritain

Stupidity is an immovable object: you can't try to attack it wiithout being broken by it.

Gustave Flaubert

Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object.

Laurence J. Peter

Marriage is the only known example of the happy meeting of the immovable object and the irresistible force.

Ogden Nash

If the child has not an object that it can occupy itself with, it feels ennui; for it does not yet know how to occupy itself with itself.

Max Stirner

Reason was nowhere, time was an immovable object nailed high on the wall, except where the world kept shop.

Mae West

Temperance is love surrendering itself wholly to Him who is its object; courage is love bearing all things gladly for the sake of Him who is its object; justice is love serving only Him who is its object, and therefore rightly ruling; prudence is love making wise distinction between what hinders and what helps itself.

Saint Augustine

Patriarchy doesn't just make men out to be ogres. Women buy into the patriarchy as well, and women make those comments as well, like, 'Boys will be boys.' Women have to undo that stuff, too.

Tarana Burke

All one wants to do is make a small, finished, polished, burnished, beautiful object . . . I mean, that's all one wants to do. One has nothing to say about the world, or society, or morals or politics or anything else. One just wants to get the damn thing done, you know? Kafka had it right when he said that the artist is the man who has nothing to say. It's true. You get the thing done, but you don't actually have anything to communicate, apart from the object itself.

John Banville
