Famous quotes containing the words human rights, human, rights and/or censorship:

    I recognize no rights but human rights—I know nothing of men’s rights and women’s rights ...

    Suzanne Lafollette (1893–1983)

    This is no war for domination or imperial aggrandisement or material gain.... It is a war ... to establish, on impregnable rocks, the rights of the individual and it is a war to establish and revive the stature of man.
    Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.
    Mae West (1892–1980)
