Individual Rights

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or rights:

“I have no faith in our hypocritical, false, hysterical, uneducated and lazy intelligentsia when they suffer and complain: their oppression comes from within. I believe in individual people. I see salvation in discrete individuals, intellectuals and peasants, strewn hither and yon throughout Russia. They have the strength, although there are few of them.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“I argued that the chastity of women was of much more consequence than that of men, as the property and rights of families depend upon it.”
