Recognized

Famous quotes containing the word recognized:

    What is called politics is comparatively something so superficial and inhuman, that practically I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The common goal of 22 million Afro-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights that America has been denying us. We can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans.
    Malcolm X (1925–1965)

    It is impossible to think of a man of any actual force and originality, universally recognized as having those qualities, who spent his whole life appraising and describing the work of other men.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
