The opposition has moved from a blaming the victim to blaming the victim's advocate's statistics. Irrespective of what the numbers are, it's far too many.
Patricia Ireland, American Activist (1945-  )
We always knew when we took on the issue of violence against women that somehow our opposition would come after us.
Patricia Ireland, American Activist (1945-  )
So the better my partner or my opposition, however you like to think about it, the better my game.
Jeremy Irons, English Actor (1948-  )
I heard someone in opposition to reform last night criticize the president for saying it's their money. They said it's not their money; it's my mother's money. Well that's what's wrong with the system.
Johnny Isakson, American Politician (1944-  )
I have never believed you make your case stronger by bad-mouthing your opposition.
Glenda Jackson, British Actress (1936-  )
I have always been willing to admit when I made a mistake. I made a mistake in my understanding of the composition of the Contras, not on my opposition to the Contra war.
Bianca Jagger, Nicaraguan Celebrity (1945-  )
Howard Dean has been successful because he was clear in his opposition to the war. People appreciate a politician with the courage to say, I oppose this war.
Bianca Jagger, Nicaraguan Celebrity (1945-  )
For example, the opposition between acute and grave phonemes has the capacity to suggest an image of bright and dark, of pointed and rounded, of thin and thick, of light and heavy, etc.

The Opposition aren't really the Opposition. They're just called the Opposition. But in fact they are the Opposition in exile. The Civil Service are the Opposition in residence.

Intellectuals try to keep going. But their situation is very difficult. Those who have had the courage to voice their opposition have often paid a very high price.
Tahar Ben Jelloun, French Poet (1944-  )
I have no spy stories to tell, because I saw no spies. Nor did I understand, at that time, any opposition between American and Russian national interest.
Elia Kazan, American Director (1909-2003)
To tell you the truth, in my work, love is always in opposition to the elements. It creates dilemmas. It brings in suffering. We can't live with it, and we can't live without it. You'll rarely find a happy ending in my work.
Krzysztof Kieslowski, Polish Director (1941-1996)
So, I think China desperately needs to legitimize some form of opposition.
William Kirby, English Scientist (1759-1850)
When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.
Shia LaBeouf, American Actor (1986-  )
We already have a sabbatical system. It's called opposition, and I've had enough of it.
Nigel Lawson, British Politician (1932-  )
As an instrument for practical action, law is responsive to the wisdom of its time, which may be wrong, but it carries forward, sometimes in opposition to this wisdom or passion, a memory of received values.
Edward Levi, American Public Servant (1911-2000)
Ah, but it's nice to be in the opposition, nice to be a bone in somebody's throat.
Jack Levine, American Artist (1915-  )
OK, it was black, it was below grade, I was female, Asian American, young, too young to have served. Yet I think none of the opposition in that sense hurt me.
Maya Lin, American Architect (1959-  )
The simple opposition between the people and big business has disappeared because the people themselves have become so deeply involved in big business.
Walter Lippmann, American Journalist (1889-1974)
The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opposition than from his fervent supporters.
Walter Lippmann, American Journalist (1889-1974)
