Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature it requires, in fact, that nature of a true Individualist to sympathize with a friend's success. (Oscar Wilde) >> More Oscar Wilde Quotations...
If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can't go at dawn and not many places he can't go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking -- one sport you shouldn't have to reserve a time and a court for. (Edward Hoagland) >> More Edward Hoagland Quotations...
Only in baseball can a team player be a pure individualist first and a team player second, within the rules and spirit of the game. (Branch Rickey) >> More Branch Rickey Quotations...
Compared to the United States, ... there is no clear message from the CDU about an individualist, market-oriented economic policy. The program is piecemeal. It's not a vision. It's a sort of muddling through. These are programs that may help give some economic benefits, but it's definitely not something that you could call a conclusive economic program. (Thomas Straubhaar) >> More Thomas Straubhaar Quotations...
As a confirmed individualist I certainly do not wish to underrate the influence of the individual, for the masses do not lead the individual; rather, in the individual is vested the capacity to lead the masses. (Gustav Stresemann) >> More Gustav Stresemann Quotations...
If I can be an advocate of individualist solutions to our society's problems that are affirmative solutions, that's to me what conservatism means. (Tom Selleck) >> More Tom Selleck Quotations...
Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb. (Lewis Lapham) >> More Lewis Lapham Quotations...
In contemporary American public culture, the legacy of the consumer revolution of the 1960s is unmistakable. Today, there are few things more beloved of our masses than the figure of the cultural rebel, the defiant individualist resisting the mandates of the machine civilization. Whether he is an athlete decked out in a mowhawk and multiple-pierced ears, a policeman who plays by his own rules, an actor on a motorcycle, a soldier of fortune with explosive bow and arrow, or a rock star in leather jacket and sunglasses, the rebel has become the paramount cliche of our popular entertainment, and the pre-eminent symbol of the system he is supposed to be subverting. In advertising especially, he rules supreme. (Thomas Frank) >> More Thomas Frank Quotations...
First of all, whoever didn't want to be a member of this association or the other association, was branded, you know, like a dangerous individualist, you know, infected by the Western decadence, you know. So everybody joined. (Milos Forman) >> More Milos Forman Quotations...
