Rules Quotes
Life is good, life is great.
Always love and never hate.
Break the rules, stand apart.
Ignore your head and follow your heart.
Ashley Purdy
I was a suburban kid who fancied myself somehow intellectual. I was into punk rock but I couldn't get into the subcultural signifiers of dyed hair, safety pins and torn denim. Being a punk seemed like a new set of rules that I wasn't interested in having to follow.
Ezra Furman
We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.
Freddie Mercury
Queen
Ultimately, however, there is no absolute good or bad, no timeless right or wrong, only that which does or does not advance our (i.e. God's) existential purpose. Rules of proper behavior depend upon time and place, because the consequences of the things we do largely depend on the context in which they are done. Consider how the sex act can be a crime or a consummation of love, depending solely on the context in which it is performed.
Bernard Haisch
Never trust a man who carries a handkerchief, I always say. One of many prejudicial rules of thumb.

James G. Frazer
I do have rules, and etiquette things. I think it's a southern thing too, to an extent. I'll hold the door for someone, but if they don't say, "Thank you," it pisses me off. I say, "Yes, ma'am," and, "Yes, sir." Stuff that is maybe archaic in a lot of ways, but that's how I was raised, and I don't think there's really any harm in that.

If they [Plato and Aristotle] wrote about politics it was as if to lay down rules for a madhouse. And if they pretended to treat it as something really important it was because they knew that the madmen they were talking to believed themselves to be kings and emperors. They humored these beliefs in order to calm down their madness with as little harm as possible.
Blaise Pascal
Civil disobedience presupposes willing obedience of our self-imposed rules, and without it civil disobedience would be a cruel joke.
Mahatma Gandhi
One of the rules of plays, I feel, is to never use an extra word if you don't have to.
Edward Einhorn
It must never be forgotten that Almighty God rules this world. He is not an absentee God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
I think the Harry Potter movies are proof that audiences love that stuff. They love the idea of magical objects and they like learning the rules of those objects and what they do.
