No Comment Quotes

Commentators who today talk of 'The Dark Ages' when faith instead of reason was said to ruthlessly rule, have for their animadversions only the excuse of perfect ignorance.

I recall my mother asking in about 1946 what I was and I replied proudly that I was a professor. A decade later she repeated her question and I repeated my answer. "No promotion?" was her comment. — George Stigler

No Context Quotes
Love first has to happen in the deepest core of your being. It is the quality of being alone, happily alone, joyously alone. It is the quality of being of no mind, of being silent. Contentless consciousness is the space, the context, in which love arises in you. — Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain]

Until COVID, I thought that free speech was a protected fundamental right guaranteed to all citizens of the United States of America by the Bill of Rights. Having been assigned core texts like 1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, and The Trial and Death of Socrates in fourth and fifth grade as a “gifted and talented” student in the California school system of the time, I believed there was no way anything like what was written in those books could happen here in the USA during the 21st century. — Robert W. Malone

No, you outta your mind. — Malcolm X

The discourse on the Text should itself be nothing other than text, research, textual activity, since the Text is that social space which leaves no language safe, outside, nor any subject of the enunciation in position as judge, master, analyst, confessor, decoder. The theory of the Text can coincide only with a practice of writing. — Roland Barthes
There's no better reading experience than going to the place where a text was written. — Kenzaburo Oe
Illustrations have as much to say as the text. The trick is to say the same thing, but in a different way.

Leaving religious texts open too interpretation is the downfall of religion itself. If it is truly the word of God then there is no room for interpretation; you either take all of it or none. There is no selective belief — Stephen Colbert

They say man he reading rhymes off his iPhone, no I texting your girl meet me at my home — Troy Ave
I am in no doubt that if you use the term 'luv' in a letter or text message then you are incapable of truly understanding the emotion.

Because the great thing about fairy tales and folk tales is that there is no authentic text. It's not like the text of Paradise Lost or James Joyce's Ulysses, and you have to adhere to that exact text. — Philip Pullman
Compare sending someone a text message and getting a love letter delivered by carrier pigeon. No contest. — Bryan Callen

No language exists that cannot be misused... Every Interpretation is hypothetical, for it is a mere attempt to read an unfamiliar text. — Carl Jung

No one is talking. No one is emailing. No one is texting. It's spooky and scary. — Brian Stelter

As soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our trouble. . . . No Catholic, for instance, takes seriously the text which says that a Bishop should be the husband of one wife. — Bertrand Russell
Nothing is text but what is spoken of in the Bible and meant there for person and place; the rest is application; which a discreet man may do well; but it is his scripture, not the Holy Ghost's.
