Accused Quotes - Page 11

• La obediencia servil a los clérigos, que saben cómo exprimir hasta la última gota de ventaja de la religión, está matando a nuestras chicas. Debemos hablar, blasfemar si es necesario, ser acusadas de apóstatas si es necesario. A los musulmanes se les enseña que el Islam puso fin a la práctica árabe de enterrar vivas a las niñas recién nacidas porque las consideraban inútiles y una carga, pero mientras permanezcamos callados ante la abominación del matrimonio infantil, estaremos enterrando vivas a nuestras niñas.

• My mother always accused me of being in love with the sound of my own voice. When we went on road trips, she'd be like, 'Stop singing. Be quiet, you're talking just to hear yourself speak.' It was probably true. I like to ramble on, which is probably why I'm well suited to interviews. You know, there's no other forum where you're literally supposed to sit down and just talk for hours about yourself. I love it.

• But for their right to judge of the law, and the justice of the law, juries would be no protection to an accused person, even as to matters of fact; for, if the government can dictate to a jury any law whatever, in a criminal case, it can certainly dictate to them the laws of evidence.

• Mother Teresas detractors have accused her of overemphasizing Calcuttans destitution and of coercing conversion from the defenseless.

• Los capitalistas trabajan mucho para producir lo que quieren los consumidores. A los artistas que se esfuerzan demasiado por producir lo que quieren los consumidores se les suele acusar de venderse. Así, incluso los lenguajes del capitalismo y el arte entran en conflicto: una empresa que se ha "vendido" ha tenido éxito, pero un artista que se ha "vendido" ha fracasado.

• Cuando un funcionario que se enfrenta a una acusación múltiple dice que ha decidido pasar más tiempo con su familia, la respuesta adecuada es una carcajada.
