Resists Quotes
You must ask God to give you power to fight against the sin of pride which is your greatest enemy - the root of all that is evil, and the failure of all that is good. For God resists the proud.
- St Vincent De Paul
When a robbery victim does not defend himself, the robber succeeds 88 percent of the time, and the victim is injured 25 percent of the time. When a victim resists with a gun, the robbery success rate falls to 30 percent, and the victim injury rate falls to 17 percent. No other response to a robbery -- from drawing a knife to shouting for help to fleeing -- produces such low rates of victim injury and robbery success.
- David Kopel
What is true for one relationship, for one painting, is not true for another... each possesses its own strange inevitability that resists us and we can never finally know what it is we are doing until the work is finished... It is as if the picture paints itself through us, the story tells itself through us, has a larger existence of which we know nothing.
- Alex Miller
This driving need is what is so defining of her and is, in a sense, what makes her a palindrome... Loosely, metaphorically speaking, a palindrome describes that part of ourselves that is immutable and that resists, so that for all the metamorphoses, physical and otherwise, that we see over the course of the film, the character remains a constant.
