Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Because instant and credible information has to be given, it becomes necessary to resort to guesswork, rumors and suppositions to fill in the voids, and none of them will ever be rectified, they will stay on in the readers' memory. How many hasty, immature, superficial and misleading judgments are expressed every day, confusing readers, without any verification. The press can both simulate public opinion and miseducate it. Thus we may see terrorists heroized, or secret matters, pertaining to one's nation's defense, publicly revealed, or we may witness shameless intrusion on the privacy of well-known people under the slogan: "everyone is entitled to know everything." But this is a false slogan, characteristic of a false era: people also have the right not to know, and it is a much more valuable one. The right not to have their divine souls stuffed with gossip, nonsense, vain talk. A person who works and leads a meaningful life does not need this excessive burdening flow of information. — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Harlan Ellison

Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that's horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it's nothing. It's just bibble-babble. It's like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks. — Harlan Ellison

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Bernard Baruch

Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts. — Bernard Baruch

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By John Stuart Mill

No one but a fool, and only a fool of a peculiar description, feels offended by the acknowledgment that there are others whose opinion, and even whose wish, is entitled to a greater amount of consideration than his. — John Stuart Mill

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Richard Dawkins

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Todd Haynes

I hope it's water under the bridge, but Richard Carpenter is a complicated individual, and he's also entitled to his own opinion on how his sister is depicted. The film has lived on and survived, and to me is ultimately is an affectionate celebration of Karen Carpenter. I hope that wins out in the end. — Todd Haynes

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Charlie Munger

I have what I call an iron prescription that helps me keep sane when I naturally drift toward preferring one ideology over another and that is: I say that I'm not entitled to have an opinion on this subject unless I can state the arguments against my position better than the people who support it. I think only when I've reached that state am I qualified to speak. This business of not drifting into extreme ideology is a very, very important thing in life — Charlie Munger

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Jeanne Phillips

If gay Americans are not allowed to get married and have all the benefits that American citizens are entitled to by the Bill of Rights, they should get one hell of a tax break. That is my opinion. — Jeanne Phillips

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Joe Bageant

Along with the concept of American Dream runs the notion that every man and woman is entitled to an opinion and to one vote, no matter how ridiculous that opinion might be or how uninformed the vote. It could be that the Borderer Presbyterian tradition of "stand up and say your rightful piece" contributed to the American notion that our gut-level but uninformed opinions are some sort of unvarnished foundational political truths. I have been told that this is because we redneck working-class Scots Irish suffer from what psychiatrists call "no insight". Consequently, we will never agree with anyone outside our zone of ignorance because our belligerent Borderer pride insists on the right to be dangerously wrong about everything while telling those who are more educated to "bite my ass! — Joe Bageant

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Locke made the case that religious beliefs are, in the words of the scholar Adam Wolfson, "matters of opinion, opinions to which we are all equally entitled, rather than quanta of truth or knowledge."1 In Locke's formulation, protection against persecution is one of the highest responsibilities of any government or ruler. Locke also argued that where there is coercion and persecution to change hearts and minds, it will "work" only at a very high human cost, producing in its wake both cruelty and hypocrisy. For Locke, no one person should "desire to impose" his or her view of salvation on others. Instead, in his vision of a tolerant society, each individual should be free to follow his or her own path in religion, and respect the right of others to follow their own paths: "Nobody, not even commonwealths," Locke wrote, "have any just title to invade the civil rights and worldly goods of each other upon pretense of religion."2 — Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts. — Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Davone Bess

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Nelson Mandela

I hate racial discrimination most intensely and all its manifestations. I have fought all my life; I fight now, and will do so until the end of my days. Even although I now happen to be tried by one, whose opinion I hold in high esteem, I detest most violently the set-up that surrounds me here. It makes me feel that I am a Black man in a White man's court. This should not be I should feel perfectly at ease and at home with the assurance that I am being tried by a fellow South African, who does not regard me as an inferior, entitled to a special type of justice. — Nelson Mandela

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Ricky Gervais

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you believe in god, you're wrong. — Ricky Gervais

White: I admit it when I'm wrong.
Black: I dont think so.
White: Well, you're entitled to your opinion. — Cormac McCarthy

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Barack Obama

There's a wonderful, perhaps apocryphal story that people tell about Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the brilliant, prickly, and iconoclastic late senator from New York. Apparently, Moynihan was in a heated argument with one of his colleagues over an issue, and the other senator, sensing he was on the losing side of the argument, blurted out: 'Well, you may disagree with me, Pat, I'm entitled to my own opinion." To which Moynihan frostily replied, "You are entitled to you own opinion, but you are not entitled to you own facts. — Barack Obama

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By John Scalzi

1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the things they read (or watch, or listen to, or taste, or whatever). They're also entitled to express them online.
2. Sometimes those opinions will be ones you don't like.
3. Sometimes those opinions won't be very nice.
4. The people expressing those may be (but are not always) assholes.
5. However, if your solution to this "problem" is to vex, annoy, threaten or harrass them, you are almost certainly a bigger asshole.
6. You may also be twelve.
7. You are not responsible for anyone else's actions or karma, but you are responsible for your own.
8. So leave them alone and go about your own life."
[Bad Reviews: I Can Handle Them, and So Should You (Blog post, July 17, 2012)] — John Scalzi

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Margaret Atwood

Gavin has tried quoting Yeats to the effect that women must labour to be beautiful, but Reynolds
who used to be a passionate Yeats fan
is now of the opinion that Yeats is entitled to his point of view, but that was then and social attitudes were different then, and in actual fact Yeats is dead. — Margaret Atwood

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Madonna

Everyone is entitled to my opinion — Madonna

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Mark Twain

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Stephen Colbert

It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. — Stephen Colbert

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Helmut Jahn

Critics are entitled to have an opinion, but how can they judge how comfortable a building is? No critic is smart enough to judge how a building will perform over time. — Helmut Jahn

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Greg Lukianoff

Though often used interchangeably, the concept of freedom of speech and the First Amendment are not the same thing. While the First Amendment protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press as they relate to duties of the state and state power, freedom of speech is a far broader idea that includes additional cultural values. These values incorporate healthy intellectual habits, such as giving the other side a fair hearing, reserving judgment, tolerating opinions that offend or anger us, believing that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, and recognizing that even people whose points of view we find repugnant might be (at least partially) right. — Greg Lukianoff

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Sara Sheridan

The net has provided a level playing field for criticism and comment - anyone and everyone is entitled to their opinion - and that is one of its greatest strengths. — Sara Sheridan

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Tre Cool

Everyone is entitled to our opinion. — Tre Cool

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By C. Martin Stepp

C. — C. Martin Stepp

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Stuart Kelly

Coelho is, of course, entitled to his dumb opinion, just as I am entitled to think Coelho's work is a nauseous broth of egomania and snake-oil mysticism with slightly less intellect, empathy and verbal dexterity than the week-old camembert I threw out yesterday. — Stuart Kelly

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Harlan Ellison

Everyone is entitled to an *informed* opinion. — Harlan Ellison

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Adam Hochschild

Today we are less likely to speak of humanitarianism, with its overtones of paternalistic generosity, and more likely to speak of human rights. The basic freedoms in life are not seen as gifts to be doled out by benevolent well-wishers, but as Casement said at his trial, as those rights to which all human beings are entitled from birth. It is this spirit which underlies organizations like Amnesty International, with its belief that putting someone in prison solely for his or her opinion is a crime, whether it happens in China or Turkey or Argentina and Medecins Sans Frontieres, with its belief that a sick child is entitled to medical care, whether in Rwanda or Honduras or the South Bronx. — Adam Hochschild

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Brian Randleas

Society teaches us that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The bill of rights informs us that we have the right to keep it to ourselves. — Brian Randleas

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Pete Sessions

You know, I think that President Obama is a person who has a great relationship with a number of people. Colin Powell does, too. I think Colin Powell is a fine American, a great leader and sees things in President Obama that he agrees with. He's entitled to have his opinion. — Pete Sessions

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Rick Yancey

He's entitled to his opinion, but that's all it is. An opinion. — Rick Yancey

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Mort Crim

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann

All our distinctions ire accidental; beauty and deformity, though personal qualities, are neither entitled to praise nor censure; yet it so happens that they color our opinion of those qualities to which mankind have attached responsibility. — Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Harlan Ellison

In my ugly, elitist opinion we are not all entitled to voice our opinions, we are entitled to pass along our informed opinions. — Harlan Ellison

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Nancy Reagan

Every woman is entitled to an opinion and the right to express that opinion-especially to the man she's married to. — Nancy Reagan

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Dorothy L. Sayers

There is also one excellent reason why the veriest amateur may feel entitled to have an opinion about education. For if we are not all professional teachers, we have all, at some time or other, been taught. Even if we learned nothing-perhaps in particular if we learned nothing-our contribution to the discussion may have a potential value. — Dorothy L. Sayers

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but it doesn't mean that they are right and you should listen to them. — Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Jason Aldean

To me, a critic is someone who gets paid for their opinion, and they're entitled to that opinion but I don't really put a lot of stock into their opinion. I'm going to cut the kind of records and the kind of songs that I like, and the kind of things that I enjoy doing. If critics dig it, that's fine, if they don't, that's fine. — Jason Aldean

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Tim McGraw

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Debra Messing

Ask everyone whether they're an actor or a doctor or a teacher or whatever is entitled to his or her opinion. But unfortunately, because actors are in the public eye, whether we want it or not, sometimes our opinions carry more weight or influence than they deserve. — Debra Messing

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Gareth Gates

Entitled To Their Opinion Quotes By Tamera Mowry
