Famous quotes containing the words human and/or rights:

    “Whenever a human being, through the commission of a crime, has become exiled from good, he needs to be reintegrated with it through suffering. The suffering should be inflicted with the aim of bringing the soul to recognize freely some day that its infliction was just.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “Whilst the rights of all as persons are equal, in virtue of their access to reason, their rights in property are very unequal. One man owns his clothes, and another owns a country.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
