Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of things are these "against" quotes speaking out about?
Each of these quotes expresses being against something specific — from a personal political stance and an international ban on whale hunting, to views on gender equality and a serious accusation made against a government's actions. Each reflects the individual speaker's own words, not a general statement of fact.
Is there a quote about a personal position on the Israel-Palestine issue?
Yes. One speaker shares their own personal stance: "I'm very much tied to the state of Israel, but I am against their policy of settlements in Palestine." This is presented here strictly as that individual's personal opinion, not a broader claim about the conflict.
Is there a quote about protecting an endangered species?
Yes — one quote describes how a documentary's impact was so significant that it led to "the United Nations passing a resolution against the killing and hunting of these whales as they are an endangered species."
Is there a quote about gender equality?
Yes. One speaker states their own opinion plainly: "Men have not stacked the decks against women." It's presented here as that speaker's personal view, not as an endorsed conclusion either way. You can browse related opinions on our Fight quotes page.
Is there a quote accusing a government of serious wrongdoing?
Yes. One speaker makes their own accusation regarding Russia, stating that it "cannot bring into it a policy of genocide against the Chechens, and cannot kill journalists," as a condition for being part of what they call "this larger zone of peace." This is reported strictly as that individual speaker's own characterization and accusation, not as an established fact. For more, see our Always, He, and Me quotes pages.

Another quote points to international action taken against the hunting of an endangered species as an example of collective resolve. Continue with Fight and Always.
