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

    “I ask whether the mere eating of human flesh so very far exceeds in barbarity that custom which only a few years since was practised in enlightened England:Ma convicted traitor, perhaps a man found guilty of honesty, patriotism, and suchlike heinous crimes, had his head lopped off with a huge axe, his bowels dragged out and thrown into a fire; while his body, carved into four quarters, was with his head exposed upon pikes, and permitted to rot and fester among the public haunts of men!”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I recognize no rights but human rights—I know nothing of men’s rights and women’s rights ...”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    “Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the Establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality, but to those of another.”
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
