Compromise is a stalling between two fools.
Betty Warren: Dear Betty, I came to Wellesley because I wanted to make a difference. But to change for others is to lie to yourself. My teacher, Katherine Watson, lived by her own definition and would not compromise that, not even for Wellesley. I dedicate this, my last editorial, to an extraordinary woman, who lived by example and compelled us all to see the world through new eyes. By the time you read this, she'll be sailing to Europe, where I know she'll find new walls to break down, and new ideas to replace them with. [snapshot] Betty Warren: I've heard her called a quitter for leaving and aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless, especially those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image. I'll never forget you.
Nelson Rockefeller: Señor Rivera, I must ask you one last time to reconsider your position. Diego Rivera: I will not compromise my vision. Nelson Rockefeller: In that case, this is your fee, paid in full, as agreed, but your services are no longer required. Diego Rivera: It's my painting! Nelson Rockefeller: On my wall. Diego Rivera: It's the people's wall, you bastard!
Irwin: [Winter is trying to compromise with Irwin] No. Not OK! It's too late, Colonel. Winter: Too late for what? Irwin: For your offer. The men don't want to salute. They don't want to use rank. They don't want better food and they don't want more TV. They just want your resignation... and so do I. Winter: My resignation? Irwin: You're a disgrace, Colonel! A disgrace to the uniform! You should not be allowed to retain your command! Winter: Then I guess I'd better go pack. Irwin: I think you should. Winter: Tell me, Mr. Irwin. What's to stop me from simply placing you in the HOLE for say six months? Irwin: Nothing. If that's the way you want to win.
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. Reynolds. Ed Reynolds: Yes. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: We are going to finsh this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision. Reverend Lemon: But it's OUR money. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And you're gonna make a bundle, but only if you shut up and let me do things my way.
...I'm not compromised by the ravages of adult recreation...
Ronald D. Moore: Television is a lot of compromise, especially running a show over the course of a season. It's about managing compromise and picking battles. "I'm going to fight for this and I'll let that go." And I don't know that that's in Harlan's makeup... I think he fights all the battles, because I think he thinks all the battles are worth fighting. "Sure, you could compromise on that, but then it's gonna suck."
I can accept anything, except what seems to be the easiest for most people: the half-way, the almost, the just-about, the in-between.
The man who refuses to judge, who neither agrees nor disagrees, who declares that there are no absolutes and believes that he escapes responsibility, is the man responsible for all the blood that is now spilled in the world. Reality is an absolute, existence is an absolute, a speck of dust is an absolute and so is a human life. Whether you live or die is an absolute. Whether you have a piece of bread or not, is an absolute. Whether you eat your bread or see it vanish into a looter's stomach, is an absolute. There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromise is the transmitting rubber tube. indecisiveness
The body can endure compromise and the mind can be seduced by it. Only the heart protests. The heart. Carbon-based primitive in a silicon world.
