Quotations for rebel

In pride, in reasoning pride, our error lies;
All quit their sphere, and rush into the skies.
Pride still is aiming at the bless'd abodes,
Men would be angels, angels would be gods.
Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell,
Aspiring to be angels men rebel;
And who but wishes to invert the laws
Of order, sins against the Eternal cause. [ Pope ]

As reason is a rebel unto faith, so is passion unto reason. [ Sir T. Browne ]

To go against reason and conscience, is to rebel against God himself. [ Proverb ]

Fear is the underminer of all determinations; and necessity, the victorious rebel of all laws. [ Sir P. Sidney ]

Women are a fascinatingly wilful set. Every woman is a rebel and usually in wild revolt against herself. [ Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance ]

Commonsense punishes all departures from her, by forcing those who rebel into a desperate war with all facts and experience, and into a still more terrible civil war with each other and with themselves. [ Colton ]
