Famous quotes containing the words rebel and/or position:
“I wouldn’t have turned out the way I was if I didn’t have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.”
—Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)
“You do not become a “dissident” just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
