• ...God has made provision for our holiness. Through Christ He has delivered us from sin's reign so that we now can resist sin. But the responsibility for resisting is ours. God does not do that for us. To confuse the potential for resisting (which God provided) with the responsibility for resisting (which is ours) is to court disaster in our pursuit of holiness.

• No cederé más poder al Estado. No cederé voluntariamente más poder a nadie, ni al Estado, ni a General Motors, ni al CIO. Acumularé mi poder como un avaro, resistiendo todos los esfuerzos por arrebatármelo. Luego usaré mi poder como me parezca. Me propongo vivir mi vida como un hombre obediente, pero obediente a Dios, sumiso a la sabiduría de mis antepasados; nunca a la autoridad de las verdades políticas a las que se llegó ayer en la cabina de votación. Es una especie de programa, ¿no? Sin duda es un programa suficiente para mantener ocupados a los conservadores y a raya a los liberales. Y a la nación libre.

  William F. Buckley, Jr.

• El rifle es un arma. Que nadie se equivoque. Es una herramienta de poder y, por tanto, depende completamente de la estatura moral de su usuario. Es igualmente útil para conseguir carne para la mesa, destruir enemigos en grupo en el campo de batalla y resistir a la tiranía. De hecho, es el único medio de resistir a la tiranía, ya que una ciudadanía armada con rifles simplemente no puede ser tiranizada.

• ¿Tenemos los medios para resistir ejércitos disciplinados, cuando nuestra única defensa, la milicia, se pone en manos del Congreso? ¿De qué les serviría la milicia cuando, muy probablemente, no tendrán ni un solo mosquete en el estado? Porque, como las armas deben ser proporcionadas por el Congreso, ellos pueden o no proporcionarlas.

• Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I'm not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I've never thought about that before! He said, When you're not following me, you're resisting me.

• Our digital experiences are out of body. This biases us toward depersonalised behaviour in an environment where one’s identity can be a liability. But the more anonymously we engage with others, the less we experience the human repercussions of what we say and do. By resisting the temptation to engage from the apparent safety of anonymity, we remain accountable and present - and are much more likely to bring our humanity with us into the digital realm

  Douglas Rushkoff

• No woman is really an insider in the institutions fathered by masculine consciousness. When we allow ourselves to believe we are, we lose touch with parts of ourselves defined as unacceptable by that consciousness; with the vital toughness and visionary strength of the angry grandmothers, the fierce market women of the Ibo's Women's War, the marriage-resisting women silk workers of pre-Revolutionary China, the millions of widows, midwives, and the women healers tortured and burned as witches for three centuries in Europe.

• Sin embargo, seguí empujando contra el negro, casi como un reflejo. No intentaba levantarlo. Sólo me resistía. No dejaba que me aplastara por completo. No era Atlas, y el negro me parecía tan pesado como un planeta; no podía cargar con él. Lo único que podía hacer era no quedar completamente aniquilado.

• The truth is, that, even with the most secure tenure of office, during good behavior, the danger is not, that the judges will be too firm in resisting public opinion, and in defence of private rights or public liberties; but, that they will be ready to yield themselves to the passions, and politics, and prejudices of the day.

• The history of liberty is the history of limitations on the power of government, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.

• Trying to change ourselves doesn't work in the long run because we're resisting our own energy. Self-improvemen t can have temporary results, but lasting transformation occurs only when we honor ourselves as the source of wisdom and compassion.

• Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying "Enough!" He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable - this is Marcos.

• ¿Quién es, pues, libre? El sabio que puede dominar sus pasiones, que no teme a la necesidad, ni a la muerte, ni a las cadenas, resistiendo firmemente sus apetitos y despreciando los honores del mundo, que confía enteramente en sí mismo, cuyos puntos angulosos de carácter han sido todos redondeados y pulidos.
