Not when truth is dirty but when it is shallow does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.

I very much dislike the intolerance and moralism of many Christians and feel more sympathy with Honest Doubters than with them.

I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?

Now I am about to be nailed as the man who disliked 'Howl's Moving Castle.' Lord give me strength! Also IT please disconnect the e-mail thing.

The British are supposed to be particularly averse to intellectuals a prejudice closely bound up with their dislike of foreigners. Indeed one important source of this Anglo-Saxon distaste for highbrows and eggheads was the French revolution which was seen as an attempt to reconstruct society on the basis of abstract rational principles.

I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.

I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science it is an aid to art.

Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner.

Sad people dislike the happy and the happy the sad the quick thinking the sedate and the careless the busy and industrious.
