Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything its cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everthing for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
Erica Jong

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth - more than ruin - more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
Bertrand Russell
People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth.
Raoul Vaneigem
For my family, that was a shameful thing. My mom and sister lived very afraid, and to them, being a guerrilla was considered subversive, like being a criminal. The army committed most of the crimes in our town, but my family felt they needed to respect authority. I always questioned authority. In the end, if we didn't do something, we were going to get recruited, period.
Oscar Torres
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Paul Johnson
It's the subversive nature of how we deal with family values. I think what's really exciting about the show is the nonjudgmental look we have on our characters. It enables us to dramatize the way a family works without being cynical.
Will Scheffer
When I was a teenager in Leeds I was a big Joy Division fan, so I loved New Order too. 'World In Motion' was great, it was a bit subversive in a way. We didn't try to be subversive - we were looking to produce one of those communal moments that brings everyone together.
Danny Mcnamara
The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.
Lionel Trilling
This is sponsored by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, which is not a subversive group.
Kate Bronfenbrenner
Aaron's the guy you follow into battle. He's broad, he's got a strong chin ? a man's-man kind of persona. Very few actors ... can say subversive things and come off charming. Robert Redford and Paul Newman were guys who could do that.
Jason Reitman
There's a fine line between tasteless and crass and just out-there, offbeat sensibility. This is sophisticated lunacy. ... If you are looking for a very broad silly comedy, it works on that level, but if you are looking for something intellectually subversive, that's really there, too.
Mimi Rogers
She's really clever and subversive. It's very difficult to describe glittery people and she does it very well.
Joan Juliet Buck
If [the legislature] will positively enact a thing to be done, the judges are not at liberty to reject it, for that were to set the judicial power above that of the legislature, which would be subversive of all government.
William Blackstone
The notion that Congress can change the meaning given a constitutional provision by the Court is subversive of the function of judicial review; and it is not the less so because the Court promises to allow it only when the Constitution is moved to the left.
Robert H. Bork
So from the Chinese perspective, those people who want to be foreigners should not be given an equal chance to make money here, just to conduct subversive activities in Taiwan.
Jia Qingguo
U.S. journalists I don't think are very courageous. They tend to go along with the government's policy domestically and internationally. To question is seen as being unpatriotic, or potentially subversive.
Robert Fisk
I would say it is not only an act of statesmanship but an act of faith. Both our countries were departing from something which has been well ingrained in the mind-sets of most of our people. We knew there was going to be significant opposition to change. Change is always viewed with suspicion and often viewed as subversive.
Ronen Sen
I'd like Hard C to be a modern day National Lampoon -- a name that is immediately recognized as a standard for unique subversive comedy.
Jason Reitman
The Chinese censorship mechanism is not just looking for subversive elements. It is also looking at the ideas of 'moral rightness' in society. For example, there are controls on things like pornography, or other elements that the state deems as unpalatable for the population.
