What is a rebel? A man who says no.

Albert Camus

Real rebels are rarely anything but second rate outside their rebellion; the drain of time and temper is ruinous to any other accomplishment.

James Gould Cozzens

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made.

Oscar Wilde

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Thomas Jefferson

A little rebellion now and then...is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.

Thomas Jefferson

When I was 15, 16 and joining this band when I was 18, I was just enthralled, and going to a basement and seeing it filled with kids was the best thing in the world. Now I'm looking at it like 'Basements? Is that really as good as it gets here?' And now there are Buffalo bands saying they're only going to play basements, like a rebellion thing. For us, there weren't any other options.

Keith Buckley

Learning is always rebellion... Every bit of new truth discovered is revolutionary to what was believed before.

Margaret Lee Runbeck

I've always called it a rebellion. People were rebelling against injustice. They demanded to be heard, and from that a lot of people started to listen.

Angela Leisure

This is the first time that an incumbent prime minister is declaring his intention of dismantling dozens of settlements, and nothing is happening. No demonstrations and protests, no rebellion within the party, and no media uproar.

Aluf Benn

When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion.

C. P. Snow

I suddenly discovered the delight of rebellion.

Jack Kerouac

Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of Kenobi, and will soon see the end of the Rebellion.

James Earl Jones

I didn't play practical jokes at home. I had a strict upbringing, which is part of my rebellion. I was raised Catholic and went to parochial school, which is why priests and nuns appear in my movies a lot, and I don't have very much nice to say about them.

George A. Romero

Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.

Susan B. Anthony

It's colliding head-on with a demographic trend in that now you have the baby boomers. The average Harley customer is 46-years-old -- my age -- and they didn't have the money or the time to ride a motorcycle back in the '70s. So there's this nostalgia for the freedom and the rebellion of that era.

Orvel Wilson

Alice is much a focused rebellion, he's a fantastic cartoon character almost, if you like, and therefore he's still successful today-my kid, 11 years old, loves Alice Cooper.

Bruce Dickinson

The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion.

Frederick Douglass

But however long you may have continued in rebellion, and how ever black and long the catalog of your sins, yet if you will now turn to God by a sincere repentance, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall not be cast out.

Archibald Alexander

I wanted a play that would paint the full face of sensuality, rebellion and revivalism.

Gwyn Thomas

'When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you find that more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion.'

Carrie P. Snow

If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.

Abigail Adams

I attribute it to innovative marketing, rebellion by the people, you tell them not to smoke they're going to do it anyway, and a faster resilience by the industry.

Ann Gurkin

The whole world loves a maverick and the whole world wants the maverick to achieve something nobler than simple rebellion.

Kevin Patterson

Repression will provoke rebellion.

Hugh Williamson

This is not just a demonstration. This is a rebellion.

Rigoberto Tiglao

Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion.

Scottish Proverb

The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.

Andrea Dworkin

Rebellion per se is not a virtue. If it were, we would have some heroes on very low levels.

Norman Thomas

Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of one's best.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

The hour has arrived where we liberate ourselves completely. I feel a wave of uprising and rebellion all around Latin America and a growing courage to stop our subjugation at the hands of the North American empire.

Evo Morales
