― N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season

“I found him perhaps the least terrifying man I've ever met in the theater—because at first glance I could see through him and he could see through me, and he knew that I knew that he knew. Look, love, I've been bullied all my life by bigger experts than Larry Olivier, I can assure you, and he's just got to get in line.”
― Peter O'Toole

“No reason to dwell on why. We all know bullies are bullies because they have their own problems they can't deal with so they take them out on others. So let's focus on how to get your hat back.”
― Valerie Ormond, Believing In Horses, Too

“When you feel the emotional reaction of someone's supposed [verbal] attack, what you're doing is getting them to reflect to you that some portion of yourself feels that way about yourself. Otherwise you wouldn't react. You would just observe it - "oh interesting." - and move on with your day. But if you react to it, it's showing you some part of you actually is buying into this as true.

So say: "Well thank you: Thank you for showing that I was not loving all of myself."

And when you really start doing that, then you may start to see that someone else's attitude toward you may change.”
― Bashar

“He couldn't have pulled back the lock, they couldn't simply have climbed over the sides of the stall in all of three seconds, because those weren't the rules of the game.

Theirs was the intoxication of the hunter, his the terror of the prey. Once they had actually captured him the fun was over and the punishment more of a duty that had to be carried out. If he gave up too early there was a chance they would put more of their energy into the punishment instead of the hunt.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In

“Allowing bullying in the classroom is equivalent to excluding learning from the classroom. If bullying is present in the classroom it causes the classroom to not feel like a safe environment, and people do not learn in unsafe environments - except for those things which they feel will ensure their present safety.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“This is just a game,' Nicasia says. 'But sometimes we play too hard with our toys. And then they break.'

'It's not like we drowned you ourselves,' Valerian calls.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“The truth was important. The truth mattered. It mattered more than the fact that he was only twelve and that his story was completely preposterous. People like Granny, all bullies in fact, only managed to survive because they lived behind the truth. Once people knew them for what they were, they would be powerless.”
― Anthony Horowitz, Granny

“I hate the phrase “Silly Goose.â€� Geese aren’t silly. They are bullies.”
― Jarod Kintz, Powdered Saxophone Music

“After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

“You're in danger here. More so than Annalise or me."

"Why do you say that?" I asked, mesmerized by the relentlessness of his stare.

"This place is filled with stray cats, Rachel." He skimmed his thumb over the scar the angry swan left on my cheek. Unlike him, I didn't flinch away. "And these bullies don't throw stones.”
― Laura Hatosy, Drawn from Memory

“Many police officers are bullies because it is the perfect job for the bully!”
― Steven Magee

“The Dark Cloud
Is the jealous bastard who saw your achievements and got a heart attack
Is the dangerous game someone plays when they think you won’t fight back
Is the authoritative and vicious voice of a hate group
Is the swift way in which a bully and loser flung their ice cream scoop”
― Aida Mandic, The Dark Cloud

“What happens to us while we are growing up? Why do adults stop saying, "Quit it" to the bullies? The grown-up bullies are more powerful, but then, so are we.”
― Martha Stout, Ph.D.

“I pause, realizing I too am still battling life's bullies. We just call them by different names: stereotypes, biases, social expectations. Different names, the same result, leaving us with the feeling of being worthless.”
― Jessica K. Webb, Sweet Dreams: Twisted Reflections, Book 1

“If your children are popular or accepted, I am delighted for them. They’re going to have an easier childhood than some other kids. However, your work is not done. The daily newspaper provides numerous examples of well-known political or entertainment figures who behave extremely badly toward others. Such misbehavior begins early because such leaders were allowed, when they were young, to use their social influence in any way that they wanted. As we have seen through countless examples in this book, popular and accepted children wield a lot of power over the lives of other children. Some of that power is pretty destructive, so parents have to take every opportunity to be moral leaders. Many potential bullies can be transformed into positive leaders who actually enhance the moral and social atmosphere of a school or a group of children.”
― Michael G. Thompson, Best Friends, Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children

“You should look for opportunities to turn your child into a social leader. Brownies, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Indian Guides, National Outdoor Leadership Schools, church and synagogue youth groups, and almost any type of community service opportunities are extraordinarily helpful to popular children. These opportunities allow them to turn their attractive traits into concrete acts of generosity toward others. Good leaders show respect toward other people; good leaders use win-win strategies. It is not enough for children to be smart or to be able to reflect on moral problems. Children need to be put into situations where they can practice moral acts - and that is true of the socially gifted as it is of kids who veer toward the antisocial. We have to give our naturally popular children the moral guidance to make them into true leaders.”
― Michael G. Thompson, Best Friends, Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children

“Telling a stutterer to speak up is like telling the lame to get up.”
