Conformist Quotes - Page 5

• I think that certainly the artists of the '40s, '50s and '60s were fighting a very conformist society, which didn't give them enough space to live or create, and they were bucking all kinds of spoken and unspoken rules.

• Everyone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin. You're just a conformist if you're drunk; and naked; driving around in a loud motorcycle; smoking cigarrettes; breaking commandments; getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that. That's so tired!

  Mark Driscoll

• Society's only real 'progressives' are the deviants and mutants. Look at evolution - fish who didn't deviate never became amphibians; frogs who didn't mutate never became reptiles; conformist snakes never became mammals , etc. Normal Humans will remain humans, and they'll be subjugated by the digital monsters of the next few millenia.

• Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce rivalries with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turned into conformists, students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in skyrocketing tuition that continues to outpace inflation. Why are we doing this to ourselves?

• Customs, morals — is there a difference? Woman, do you realize what you are doing? Here, by the grace of God and an inside straight, we have a personality untouched by the psychotic taboos of our tribe — and you want to turn him into a carbon copy of every fourth-rate conformist in this frightened land! Why don't you go whole hog? Get him a brief case and make him carry it wherever he goes — make him feel shame if he doesn't have it.

• Como seres humanos tenemos un potencial y una imaginación ilimitados. Lo peor que se puede hacer es ser conformista y tragarse el conformismo. Es lo peor posible. Es mejor ser escandaloso. Es mejor juntarse con los sabios, con la gente abierta a las posibilidades, incluso con los psicóticos. Nunca sabes dónde encontrarás a los genios de nuestra sociedad.

• The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a safe code of conduct - one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone - for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you.

• Our legal system, including the police, is anti-Dalit and anti-poor. The death penalty laws' wrathful majesty, in blood-shot equality, deals the fatal blow on the poor not the rich, the pariah not the brahmin, the black not the white, the underdog not the top dog, the dissenter not the conformist. . . The law barks at all but bites only the poor, the powerless, the illiterate, the ignorant.

• The courage to be as oneself within the atmosphere of Enlightenment is the courage to affirm oneself as a bridge from a lower to a higher state of rationality. It is obvious that this kind of courage to be must become conformist the moment its revolutionary attack on that which contradicts reason has ceased, namely in the victorious bourgeoisie.

• El rasgo humano característico no es la conciencia, sino la conformidad, y el resultado característico es la guerra religiosa. Otros animales luchan por el territorio o la comida; pero, de forma única en el reino animal, los seres humanos luchan por sus "creencias". La razón es que las creencias guían el comportamiento, lo que tiene importancia evolutiva entre los seres humanos. Pero en un momento en que nuestro comportamiento puede llevarnos a la extinción, no veo razón alguna para suponer que tengamos conciencia alguna. Somos conformistas obstinados y autodestructivos. Cualquier otra visión de nuestra especie no es más que un delirio autocomplaciente.

• Cualquiera que sea la educación, debe hacer de ti un individuo único, no un conformista; debe dotarte de un espíritu original con el que afrontar los grandes retos. Debe permitirte encontrar valores que te sirvan de hoja de ruta en la vida; debe hacerte rico espiritualmente, una persona que ame lo que esté haciendo, esté donde esté, esté con quien esté; debe enseñarte lo que es importante, cómo vivir y cómo morir.

• El ser humano nunca piensa por sí mismo. En su mayor parte, los miembros de nuestra especie se limitan a repetir lo que se les dice, y se alteran si se les expone a un punto de vista diferente. El rasgo humano característico no es la conciencia, sino la conformidad. Somos conformistas obstinados y autodestructivos. Cualquier otra visión de nuestra especie no es más que un delirio autocomplaciente.
