P. J. O'Rourke

The great apologist has to have lived large and wild. If he's going to kiss the world's boo-boos and make up, he'd better plant some bruises first. A master apologizer has to be a Lord Byron, a Rick in Casablanca, a Lee Atwater, anyway.

American Comedian

Lionel Blue

What would I have done if I'd been put to the test? Would I have risked my own life for people I hardly knew? Probably, I would have looked the other way at best or become another apologist for evil at worst.

British Clergyman

Bono

Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it's to have any meaning in this world - and stop being its apologist.

Irish Singer

C. S. Lewis

Nothing is more dangerous to one's own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.

British Writer

Maryanne Wolf

I am an apologist for the reading brain. It represents a miracle that springs from the brain's unique capacity to rearrange itself to learn something new.

American Educator

Jose Mujica

I don't want to be an apologist for poverty, but I can't stand waste, useless spending, wasted energy and having to live squandering stuff.

Uruguayan Statesman

Mark Fisher

I'm the world's greatest apologist for Brian De Palma but his version of Ellroy's 'The Black Dahlia' is a disaster.

Newt Gingrich

Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for 'religious toleration' are arrogantly dishonest.

American Politician

Deepak Chopra

Some Western biographies are apologist, and do not portray the negative side at all.

American Speaker

Darryl Glenn

Apologist implies a response to criticism; it's used when someone actively defends a controversial positions or actions.

Context Matters

'Apologist' can carry a negative tone, suggesting bias or blind support rather than reasoned argument.

Not Always Positive

Often paired with religious, political or corporate terms to reflect defending specific groups or ideas.
