Refusal

Famous quotes containing the word refusal:

“A man assumes that a woman’s refusal is just part of a game. Or, at any rate, a lot of men assume that. When a man says no, it’s no. When a woman says no, it’s yes, or at least maybe. There is even a joke to that effect. And little by little, women begin to believe in this view of themselves.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)

“Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious during algebra. In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

“Show enough regret, and your refusal will inspire gratitude.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
