Usage examples for Resistances

Peace, indeed, is not adequate to all progress; there are resistances that can be overcome only by explosion.
"Lessons of the war with Spain and other articles"
Alfred T. Mahan
A true balance has been struck between all possible resistances, and they are neutralized one by the other: the people were afraid of the bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie were afraid of the people;-the faubourgs hesitated before the restoration of the majority, fearing, wrongfully however, that their victory would bring back to power that Right which is so thoroughly unpopular; the shopocracy recoiled before the red republic; the people did not understand; the middle classes shuffled; some said, "Whom shall we send to the legislative palace?"
"Napoleon the Little"
Victor Hugo
For the Church which grasped, contrived, calculated, struggled for temporal possessions and used material weapons against spiritual foes-this outer Church was nothing more than the body, which, like any other animal body, had to care for its own gross needs, nourish, clothe, defend itself, fight for a footing among the material resistances of life-while the soul, the inner animating principle, might dwell aloof from all these things, in a clear medium of its own.
"The Valley of Decision"
Edith Wharton

Famous quotes with Resistances

  • The passage of the mythological herois inward—into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world. ...Something of the light that blazes invisible within the abysses of its normally opaque materiality breaks forth, with an increasing uproar. The dreadful mutilations are then seen as shadows, only, of an immanent, imperishable eternity; time yields to glory; and the world sings with the prodigious, angelic, but perhaps finally monotonous, siren music of the spheres. Like happy families, the myths and the worlds redeemed are all alike.
    Joseph Campbell
