Fray Quotes - page 2

I've always tried to stay out of the fray and not be an object of controversy. (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)
Valentine!" "You mean father. I despise this modern habit of calling one's parents by their names." "What I want to call you is a hell of a lot more unprintable than your name." - Clary Fray and Valentine Morgenstern (City of Ashes) View quote
Cassandra Clare
You're Clary Fray. You go charging into every situation without knowing how the hell it's going to turn out, and then you get through it on sheer guts and craziness. View quote
Cassandra Clare
I hope that people will see that we don't have to sit by the sidelines and watch as the two major parties limit their choices to slightly different flavors of the status quo. It is, in fact, possible to join the fray, stand up for principles and offer a real alternative. View quote
Gary Johnson
And bitter waxed the fray; Brother with brother spake no word When they met in the way. View quote
Jean Ingelow
The best of men have ever loved repose: They hate to mingle in the filthy fray; Where the soul sours, and gradual rancour grows, Imbitter'd more from peevish day to day. View quote
James Thomson (poet)
He lives not long who battles with the immortals, nor do his children prattle about his knees when he has come back from battle and the dread fray. View quote
Homer
He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. View quote
Charles Mackay
The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray. View quote
Bono
I hope that our discussion of meaning-making and ethics-making has made it clear why we must stand firm in disputing god-talk: god-talk is at once a betrayal of our common humanity and a barrier to both meaning and ethics. That is not to say that you rise up in arms when you are visiting your parents' home for dinner and grace is said or that you leap into the fray every time you hear some piety uttered. No one has the time or the energy for such vigilance, and no one wants to become a pariah. But you do need to pick some fights and then fight them. If you are upholding values such as justice, reason, fairness, equity, and decency-if these inform the meaning and the ethics that you make-then you are obliged to stand up to god-talk at least occasionally.
