Picture Quotes After a while, we start really believing these things are true. People who have had self-defeating behaviors for a long time, such as people who have been overweight since they were children or people with longtime addictions, actually believe there is no other alternative. —Wayne DyerWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Even though their arguments did not invoke religion, I think we all know what's behind these arguments. They're trying to protect religious beliefs from contradiction by science. They used to do it by prohibiting teachers from teaching evolution at all; then they wanted to teach intelligent design as an alternative theory; now they want the supposed "weaknesses" in evolution pointed out. But it's all the same program - it's all an attempt to let religious ideas determine what is taught in science courses. —Steven WeinbergWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Nobody wants to fall into a safety net, because it means the structure in which they've been living is in a state of collapse and they have no choice but to tumble downwards. However, it beats the alternative. —Daniel HandlerWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I think capitalism will survive, because no attractive alternatives exist now —Jack GoldstoneWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes It was a very unusual year [2015]. You usually don't have five campaigns operating full time in a state this late into the process, three states in. But I feel great that now that the choices have become less and less, more and more that new voter or alternative to Donald Trump vote, is going to coalesce around us. —Marco RubioWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. —Richard P. FeynmanWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Any strategy that attempts to reinforce faith by undermining science is also doomed to failure. Showing that some scientific theory is wrong will not prove that the religious alternative is correct by default. When the sun was shown not to be the center of the universe, as Copernicus had proposed, the Earth was not moved back to that singular position in the cosmos. If Darwinian evolution is proved wrong, biologists will not develop a new theory based on the hypothesis that each species was created separately by God 6,000years ago. —Victor J StengerWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Among those today who believe that modern poetry must do without rhyme or metre, there is an assumption that the alternative to free verse is a crash course in villanelles, sestinas and other such fixed forms. But most...are rare in English poetry. Few poets have written a villanelle worth reading, or indeed regret not having done so. —James FentonWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Alternative explanations are always welcome in science, if they are better and explain more. Alternative explanations that explain nothing are not welcome... Note how science changed those beliefs when new data became available. Religions stick to the same ancient beliefs regardless of the data. —Victor J StengerWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes 18th century scientists, the French in particular, seldom did things simply if an absurdly demanding alternative was available. —Bill BrysonWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The Israelis are mistaken if they think we do not have an alternative to negotiations. By Allah I swear they are wrong. The Palestinian people are prepared to sacrifice the last boy and the last girl so that the Palestinian flag will be flown over the walls, the churches and the mosques of Jerusalem. —Yasser ArafatWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes He is a great enough magician to tap our most common nightmares, daydreams and twilight fancies, but he never invented them either: he found them a place to live, a green alternative to each day's madness here in a poisoned world. We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams. —Peter S. BeagleWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes What I see now is that even with the Islamists, who have been portraying themselves as the alternative to corruption and dictatorship and in defence of more transparency, there is one respect in which they have now changed completely. Since the beginning of the 1920's, Islamism was very close in positioning in some respects to 'liberation theology'. But that is no longer the case. —Tariq RamadanWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The problem is so severe that trying to say, "First we'll fix the government and then we'll tackle climate change," or, "First we have to figure out alternative systems to capitalism and then we'll tackle climate change," I don't see how those things are possible in the very short term. —Margaret D.

Picture Quotes But you don't do it. Because guys like us, Red, we know there's a third choice. An alternative to staying simon-pure or bathing in the filth and the slime. It's the alternative that grown-ups all over the world pick. You balance off your walk through the hog-wallow against what it gains you. You choose the lesser of two evils and try to keep your good intentions in front of you. And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like. —Stephen KingWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Procedure is the bone structure of a democratic society. Our scheme of law affords great latitude for dissent and opposition. It compels wide tolerance not only for their expression but also for the organization of people and forces to bring about the acceptance of the dissenter's claim....We have alternatives to violence. —Abe FortasWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The way I see it people don't do what they want to do often enough. They just do some alternative which they'd kind of like to do, which isn't the same thing at all, and as a result that thing isn't enough and they end up depressed and annoyed with everyone else around them. —Will DavisWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
