A state that suppresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law.
Kurt Huber
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead
But there is a corollary to freedom and that's personal responsibility, and the real challenge is how you generate that personal responsibility without imposing it.
Esther Dyson
By imposing too great a responsibility, or rather, all responsibility, on yourself, you crush yourself.
Franz Kafka
He was imposing, even in his pensiveness.
George Barr McCutcheon
I don't want to feel like people are imposing limits upon you.
Mike Lowry
I liked Germany; I'm not into Berlin, it's too huge and empty and imposing, but Munich was good.
Graham Coxon
I think it is important for software to avoiding imposing a cognitive style on workers and their work.
Edward Tufte
I want a guy who is masculine, good with his hands and able to build stuff and who has survival skills. Facial hair is a big turn-on. Most of the kids I hang out with in New York are hipster arty types, but I like a stronger, more physically imposing man - like a lumberjack.
Chloe Sevigny
I'm more concerned with getting them to find and strengthen their original voice as writers rather than imposing my own subjective tastes, judgements or sensibility on the project.
Douglas Wood
I'm more interested in seeing what the material tells me than in imposing my will on it.
John Chamberlain
Listen with grace, with no judgment, without imposing the law.
Joseph Prince
Moreover, only a strong and united scientific opinion imposing the intrinsic value of scientific progress on society at large can elicit the support of scientific inquiry by the general public.
Michael Polanyi
Most of the kids I hang out with in New York are hipster arty types, but I like a stronger, more physically imposing man - like a lumberjack.
Chloe Sevigny
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'.
Fred Melamed
Obama is a leveler. He has come to narrow the divide between rich and poor. For him the ultimate social value is fairness. Imposing it upon the American social order is his mission.
Charles Krauthammer
Our castle is not imposing, but is well built, and surrounded by a very fine garden. I live in the bailiff's house.
Franz Schubert
Our nation is too different, too diverse to say that what works in Massachusetts is somehow going to be grabbed by the federal government, usurping the power of states and imposing a one-size-fits-all plan on the nation. That will not work.
Mitt Romney
The Church became both more accessible and less imposing. It threw itself open to risk.
Lance Morrow
The estate tax punishes years of hard work and robs families of part of their heritage by imposing a huge penalty on inheritance after death - a tax on money that has already been taxed.
