Label Quotes - page 17

I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism; it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it. (Alexander McQueen)
It is unfair to label me anti-Islam. I am an atheist and a secular humanist. View quote
Taslima Nasrin
A word is an arbitrary label - that's the foundation of linguistics. But many people think otherwise. They believe in word magic: that uttering a spell, incantation, curse, or prayer can change the world. Don't snicker: Would you ever say, 'Nothing has gone wrong yet' without looking for wood to knock? View quote
Steven Pinker
The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label. View quote
Upton Sinclair
The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label. I certainly proved it in the case of EPIC [End Poverty in California]. Running on the Socialist ticket I got 60,000 votes, and running on the slogan to 'End Poverty in California' I got 879,000. I think we simply have to recognize the fact that our enemies have succeeded in spreading the Big Lie. There is no use attacking it by a front attack, it is much better to out-flank them. View quote
Upton Sinclair
The historical Woodrow Wilson suffered from numerous complaints which we might today label as psychosomatic. Yet, Wilson did have a stroke as a relatively young man of 39 and seemed always to be ill. He was 'high-strung' - intensely neurotic - yet a charismatic personality nonetheless. View quote
Joyce Carol Oates
I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label. View quote
Jackie Robinson
I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it. View quote
Shirley Manson
My style when I was 17 was very low-key with jeans, T-shirts, and Converse. I was signed to a major record label by then, so I had stylists helping me. View quote
Michelle Branch
After we wrote The Wreckoning, our record label did listen. View quote
Taryn Manning
After spending nearly 20 years contracted to a major label, I have mixed feelings about their demise. (Natalie Merchant)
As a creative crystallizing of the movement beyond the state of Patriarchal Paralysis, this book is an act of Dis-possession; and hence, in a sense beyond the limitations of the label anti-male, it is absolutely Anti-androcrat, A-mazingly Anti-male, Furiously and Finally Female. View quote
Mary Daly
A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship and label-bashing, and instead of living by a theme of ideas, people begin dying for labels... and the last thing the world needs is another religion. View quote
Richard Bach
Likewise, also, when occasion required that I should label myself with reference to particular social theories or doctrines, the same decent respect for accuracy led me to describe myself as an anarchist, an individualist, and a single-taxer. View quote
Albert Jay Nock
And so we see that the term conservative has little value as a label; in fact, one might say that its label-value varies inversely with one's right to wear it. View quote
Albert Jay Nock
My family makes these vinegars - out of everything from grapes to peaches and cherries. We go through the whole process with the giant vat and drainer, label them, and give them as Christmas presents. View quote
Mario Batali
I think, in a way, I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed, but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around. View quote
Chuck Palahniuk
I base a lot of decisions on my gut, and going with an independent label was a good one. View quote
Taylor Swift
I've made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I'm allowed to write my own music. View quote
Taylor Swift
I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It's hard to label the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors. View quote
Taylor Swift
For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major. (Jack White)
When you're doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it's a very different way of doing business than in London. You can't sign them in the usual way because they'd end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label like this. View quote
Damon Albarn
The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public ignominy otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife. View quote
Barbara Ehrenreich
The message I got from my record label at the time - and this was on purpose - was that I wasn't selling enough. View quote
Sophie B. Hawkins
The bad-boy label is just an assumption. View quote
Russell Brand
