Famous quotes containing the words criteria of, criteria, claiming and/or protection:

    We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong.

    Without claiming superiority of intellectual over visual understanding, one is nevertheless bound to admit that the cinema allows a number of æsthetic-intellectual means of perception to remain unexercised which cannot but lead to a weakening of judgment.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected—those, precisely, who need the laws’s protection most!—and listens to their testimony.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
