Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.

I don’t really understand what ‘Galacticos’ is supposed to mean. It’s a term I dislike. I like football, pure and simple, and that concept isn’t part of football. It’s something else entirely.
I definitely dislike pomposity and artifice. I hope that I’m not that. Once I write a song, it belongs to the world, and the way people perceive it, it’s cool.
I find it hard to not like music if it has passion behind it and good integrity. Only if it’s made for the wrong reasons and shows a lack of respect for its audience will I find something to dislike.

I don’t dislike ‘It’ or ‘Stranger Things,’ but I’m just not as super into it, because, like, I’ve seen ‘E.T.’ a lot. And I’ve watched ‘The Goonies.’

Above all, I dislike vulgarity.
I don’t dislike babies, though I think very young ones rather disgusting.
I find myself, by happy accident, writing ‘Young Adult’ fiction. However, I dislike such categories.
I am, ‘Guardian’ readers keep telling me, a xenophobe. Never mind that I speak French and Spanish, that I love Europe, that I’ve lived a high proportion of my life abroad. The fact that I oppose the political amalgamation of the European Union’s states is ipso facto proof that I dislike foreigners.
There are those who so dislike the nude that they find something indecent in the naked truth.
What I love about the East End is that there’s a great perseverance, determination and courage. What I dislike about it is that there is sometimes a celebration of ignorance.

I’d rather have people dislike my style than change it. If someone says, ‘Hey, Yngwie, you play too damn much,’ I don’t care. They way I play is the way I like to play. If people like it, great. If they don’t, it’s still fine with me.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.

It doesn’t matter my political views, who I like or dislike: If a president ever asks me to do anything, I’m going to say yes.
I’m very unpopular for my dislike of this food, but I’ve never liked avocado. Everyone gives me so much flack for it because they tell me how healthy it is for me, how delicious it is. I don’t like it, but it’s not for lack of trying. I tried to like it, and it’s just not my thing.
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
I really dislike soup, especially pumpkin soup.
I dislike snobby people, routine housework and getting up early in the morning, and central heating.
