Obedient Quotations

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
Henry David Thoreau

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Aldous Huxley

Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn't know art, just as it doesn't know freedom, just as it doesn't know goodness.
Ivan Turgenev

This is not what I would have chosen. But I have a heart to be obedient.
Willie Aames
