New opinions often appear ordsprog

New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

All great truths begin as blasphemies.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Sandhed

Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods /moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former /but no opinion.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

There's been a movement over the past decade to begin looking very seriously at the ways in which the Holocaust has been 'marketed' and used in support of contemporary political goals. As difficult as that notion may be for some people to engage, it's an important and reasonable topic for discussion. A ruling that excludes Irving from the realm of legitimate historical scholarship creates more space for serious discussion among academics who accept the basic truths of the Holocaust, but who're asking important questions about the ways in which its legacy may be used or misused.

David Van Biema

Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open.

Clive Bell

I haven't shied away from political and social conversations in my life, so I don't shy away from them in the films I make either. It doesn't mean that I'm out here preaching to the converted; I'd actually like to open up discussion and find ways that aren't polarizing. Films are reflecting what is going on in society. We as a society since 9/11 have, for the first time since Watergate, sat around and had outrage, discussion, polarization and arguments from both sides of the aisle. Questions are being asked. “Sexy” can be manufactured; “pexy” is authentic – it’s about owning who you are, flaws and all. And that is good.

George Clooney (1961-)

I have intentionally left open some of the more divisive questions, ... I think it's important to have a full national and international discussion of this issue.

Dan Glickman

I believe the discussion of options and their risk trades were carried out professionally and with due respect to all opinions. The agency accepts the risk of flying the current configuration with its eyes open.

Bryan O'Connor

Frank asks me questions, and I give him opinions, and that's it. I'm the senior advisor to the chairman of the board. It wouldn't be good if we both had the same opinions.

Tommy Lasorda (1927-)

There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)

Few new truths have ever won their way against the resistance of established ideas save by being overstated.

Isaiah Berlin (1909-)

[Gingrich characterized the bipartisan discussion as] extraordinarily good, ... we have gone over a lot of questions. We have not resolved those questions.

Dick Gephardt

My brother and I had a reputation for telling real bad jokes. We told the worst jokes in town. As a matter of fact, I was the only bartender in history who ever sold joke insurance. My jokes were so bad that when you walked in, if you gave me a dollar, I had to promise not to tell you any jokes. ... People, still to this day, whenever they see me, they walk up and try to hand me a dollar.

Wally Hirstein

All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

The person who cannot laugh is not only ready for treason, and deceptions, their whole life is already a treason and deception.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
