{"quotes":[{"text":"When God grabs you by the scruff of the neck then although theoretically you have a freedom to say 'no', in another sense, actually, you can't say no because it's like Jeremiah. 'God, you have cheated me. You called me to be a prophet against the people that I love, and all that I proclaim is words of doom and judgement.' And yet if I say 'I will shut up', I can't.","author":"Desmond Tutu","tags":["discipline","doom","judgement","prophecy","rebellion","speaking-up","truth"],"id":5626,"author_id":"Desmond+Tutu"},{"text":"When Verlaine and Rimbaud were young,” [Snyder] said, they were protesting the iron-grip bourgeois rationality had on all aspects of nineteenth-century French culture— the manners, the view of reality, and the exclusion of ‘the wild’ from public life. Rationality in business and society were dominant values. ‘Deranging the senses’ was one strategy artists like Verlaine and Rimbaud employed to break free of that.“Today,” he continued, “the bourgeoisie is sociopathic, overindulged, distracted, spoiled beyond measure, and unable to restrain its gluttony, even in the face of pending planetary destruction. In the face of such a threat, it has, by necessity, become the responsibility of the artist to model health and sanity.","author":"Peter Coyote","tags":["aesthetics","artists","poetry","rebellion"],"id":6729,"author_id":"Peter+Coyote"},{"text":"Eternity will not cause our memories to fade, it will force our hearts to accept the past.","author":"Ross Caligiuri","tags":["7","agency","ailee","anne","ara","arrant","blear","bray","bretta","brielle","cady","caligiuri","cave","consciousness","constance","creel","dalt","davina","defected","deryn","dr","dream","dreaming","dreams","edmonds","evelyn","fallow","grace","grane","jack","jejung","kieran","lace","layla","lily","lucas","machine","malaphin","memories","mentality","metaphysical","mind","nora","obsidia","otto","outsiders","phoenix","program","rebellion","rebels","rising","romance","ross","science-fiction","secora","seven","shades","shadows","sirt","sonant","stellan","subconscious","sun","thoughts","time","traxton","trim","tusk","vera","visionary","will","willow"],"id":7527,"author_id":"Ross+Caligiuri"},{"text":"Rebellion has its roots in government's indifference and incompetence.","author":"Mike Barnicle","tags":["roots","rebellion "],"id":8663,"author_id":"Mike+Barnicle"},{"text":"It's our goddamed city!

No, we are not defeated. We are simply disobedient. It might be good if we stop using the terms victory and defeat to describe our progress in holiness. Rather, we should use the terms obedience and disobedience. When I say I am defeated by some sin, I am unconsciously slipping out from under my responsibility. I am saying something outside of me has defeated me. But when I say I am disobedient, that places the responsibility for my sin squarely on me. We may in fact be defeated, but the reason we are defeated is because we have chosen to disobey. We need to brace ourselves up and to realize that we are responsible for thoughts, attitudes, and actions. We need to reckon on the fact that we died to sin's reign, that it no longer has any dominion over us, that God has united us with the risen Christ in all His power and has given us the Holy Spirit to work in us. Only as we accept our responsibility and appropriate God's provisions will we make any progress in our pursuit of holiness.","author":"Jerry Bridges","tags":["compromise","disobedience","rebellion","sin"],"id":18119,"author_id":"Jerry+Bridges"},{"text":"Have to wait my turn.Have to follow the rules.Have to smile like I agree.Have toHave toHave toHave toChoose him.","author":"Holly Bodger","tags":["choice","rebellion","resignation","sacrifice"],"id":20231,"author_id":"Holly+Bodger"},{"text":"If we neither regard the deeds nor respect the works of God, it leads to rebellion.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christian","faith","god","rebellion","respect","sin","theology"],"id":20298,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":232,"pages":24,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
