It seemed to be ordsprog

It seemed to be a speech more appropriate for a political hack than a presidential candidate by someone who clearly fails to recognize leadership. It was a contradiction within a contradiction.

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Blaise Pascal

Satire dramatizes better than any other use of it, the inherent contradiction of free speech that it functions best when what is being said is at its most outrageous

The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.

Mao Tse-Tung (1893-1976)

No other past presidential candidate, with the exception of McCain, has done what Kerry has done in terms of converting his presidential campaign into a grass-roots political and legislative operation. He's dedicated to electing Democrats.

The fact is, I have rejected the leadership of these two individuals who have led our party in the wrong direction. Their message of intolerance is in direct contradiction to the message I've been trying to send America.

John McCain (1936-)

John McCain

"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light."

Barry Lopez (1945-)

The great advantage of being a Southern writer is that we don't have to go anywhere to look for manners; bad or good, we've got them in abundance. We in the South live in a society that is rich in contradiction, rich in irony, rich in contrast, and particularly rich in its speech.

Flannery O'Connor

Ultimately, those who want to be part of the political process should not engage in armed group or militia activities, for there is a fundamental contradiction between such activities and the building of a democratic state.

Kofi Annan (1938-)

There is a fundamental contradiction between building a democratic process and being armed and sworn to killing Israelis. How can the Palestinians talk about building institutions and laying the foundations for the future political state if they are still engaging in terrorist activities?

This is a contradiction in terms, of course.

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. I love contradiction,

Madonna (1958-)

Flight is intolerable contradiction.

Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980)

It's an interesting contradiction, and it's happening everywhere.
