Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity.
- Leonard CohenComedy makes the subversion of the existing state of affairs possible.
- Dario FoWe may be so eager to protect the right to dissent that we lose sight of the difference between dissent and subversion.
- Richard PerleNixon`s attempts to order subversion of various departments was bound to come out in some form.

- Alexander BarclayThe North American Church is at a critical juncture. The gospel of grace is being confused and compromised by silence, seduction, and outright subversion. The vitality of the faith is being jeopardized. The lying slogans of the fixers who carry religion like a sword of judgment pile up with impunity. Let ragamuffins everywhere gather as a confessing Church to cry out in protest. Revoke the licenses of religious leaders who falsify the idea of God. Sentence them to three years in solitude with the Bible as their only companion.
