Quotations regarding 'Protest'

Choose a letter: 
Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.
Lewis Mumford, American Sociologist (1895-1990)
We can't forget what happened on May 4th, 1970, when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
Graham Nash, British Musician (1942-  )
There is a legend. And to protest is daft.
Peter O'Toole, Irish Actor (1932-  )
In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.
Phil Ochs, American Musician (1940-1976)
Pornography is human imagination in tense theatrical action; its violations are a protest against the violations of our freedom by nature.
Camille Paglia, American Author (1947-  )
I think protest and actions have to be organised against the Israelis and their backers. There needs to be a concerted high profile campaign to raise awareness of the people in this country.
Tom Paulin, Irish Poet (1949-  )
The labor movement means just this: it is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth.
Wendell Phillips, American Activist (1811-1884)
Altho that is so, Ireland has always denied and Ireland still denies that the Union was binding upon her either legally or morally. And here on this historic occasion we have assembled to renew our protest and to place it upon record.
John Edward Redmond, Irish Politician (1856-1918)
When it comes to war, we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event, rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.
Mo Rocca, American Writer (1969-  )
When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.
Bayard Rustin, American Leader (1910-1987)
Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets. I think what we need is a global protest movement of people who won't give up.
Jose Saramago, Portuguese Writer (1922-  )
One cannot help being impressed by the protesters. They have begun each day of the protest in Kiev in prayer and all activities are accomplished with a collective sense of respect, kindness, and an intention to conduct a peaceful revolution.
Bob Schaffer, American Politician (1962-  )
But every time the workers come out in the only way they know to protest against conditions which are unbearable the strong hand of the law is allowed to press down heavily upon us.
Rose Schneiderman, Polish Activist (1882-1972)
What if you threw a protest and no one showed up? The lack of angst and anger and emotion is a big positive.
Jay Alan Sekulow, American Lawyer (1956-  )
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
William Shakespeare, English Dramatist (1564-1616)
The decision by France to resume nuclear testing in the South Pacific has destroyed this hope and raised a storm of protest at home, in the South Pacific and thankfully around the world.
Jenny Shipley, New Zealander Statesman (1952-  )
I think if I were over there in America, protest music would be more important. But I'm not going.
Nina Simone, American Musician (1933-2003)
Man, born of woman, has found it a hard thing to forgive her for giving him birth. The patriarchal protest against the ancient matriarch has borne strange fruit through the years.
Lillian Smith, American Novelist
There was a lot of protest after Bravo, from countries like India, for example. India was the first country which came forward and proposed at the United Nations that all of these nuclear tests should be stopped, that there should be a complete ban on nuclear testing.
Martha Smith, American Actress (1953-  )
There are all kinds of letters and protests that come from, not surprisingly, Japanese fishermen, the fishermen's wives; there are student groups, all different types of people; the protest against the Americans' use of the Pacific for nuclear testing.
Martha Smith, American Actress (1953-  )
