Frequently Asked Questions

What's an example of a "rather" quote about avoiding pretension?
One speaker contrasts fine dining with a plain preference: "I despise formal restaurants." and, more pointedly, "I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk."
Is there a quote here that takes a stance on feminism?
Yes — one is a blunt, personal opinion: "I'd rather be a lady of the evening than a feminist." It's presented here exactly as that speaker's own provocative statement, not as a view this page agrees with or recommends.
What does the magazines quote mean?
It argues that magazines should be valued as "cultural entities rather than boxes of corn flakes that can be sold and shipped around" — the speaker's way of pushing back on treating publishing purely as a commodity business.
Does this collection include any quotes critical of capitalism?
One does, framed as the speaker's own economic opinion rather than settled fact: "The guiding principle is not to manufacture the goods everyone needs, rather to earn profits for a few capitalists."
Where can I find more quotes with this same direct, first-person "I'd rather..." style?
Browse I Am quotes for more first-person declarations, or Always quotes and Like quotes for other quotes built around personal preference.
