Dislike

Famous quotes containing the word dislike:

    “If I had any doubts at all about the justice of my dislike for Shakespeare, that doubt vanished completely. What a crude, immoral, vulgar, and senseless work Hamlet is. The whole thing is based on pagan vengeance; the only aim is to gather together as many effects as possible; there is no rhyme or reason about it.”
    —Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    “I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Sam Tostin: You know I spent a lot of years disliking women. But I don’t dislike you.
    Major Hayward: Don’t you?
    Sam Tostin: You’re different. You’re not a woman. You’re more than that. You’re a mechanic.”
    —Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)
