Famous quotes containing the word humans:

    The difference between humans and wild animals is that humans pray before they commit murder.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    As humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.
    Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
