Amartya Sen Quotes

It is important to reclaim for humanity the ground that has been taken from it by various arbitrarily narrow formulations of the demands of rationality Picture Quote #1
The identity of an individual is essentially a function of her choices, rather than the discovery of an immutable attribute Picture Quote #1
We must go on fighting for basic education for all, but also emphasize the importance of the content of education. We have to make sure that sectarian schooling does not convert education into a prison, rather than being a passport to the wide world Picture Quote #1
Economics, as it has emerged, can be made more productive by paying greater and more explicit attention to the ethical considerations that shape human behaviour and judgment Picture Quote #1
Unceasing change turns the wheel of life, and so reality is shown in all it’s many forms. Dwell peacefully as change itself liberates all suffering sentient beings and brings them great joy Picture Quote #1
The notion of human right builds on our shared humanity. These rights are not derived from the citizenship of any country, or the membership of any nation, but are presumed to be claims or entitlements of every human being. They differ, therefore, from constitutionally created rights guaranteed for specific people Picture Quote #1

If a theory of justice is to guide reasoned choice of policies, strategies or institutions, then the identification of fully just social arrangements is neither necessary nor sufficient Picture Quote #1
The success of a society is to be evaluated primarily by the freedoms that members of the society enjoy Picture Quote #1
Development requires major source of unfreedom: poverty as well as tyranny, poor economic opportunities as well as systematic social deprivation, neglect of public facilities as well as intolerance or overactivity of repressive states Picture Quote #1
The curriculum of the school did not neglect India’s cultural, analytical and scientific heritage, but was very involved also with the rest of the world Picture Quote #1
Violence is fomented by the imposition of singular and belligerent identities on gullible people, championed by proficient artisans of terror Picture Quote #1
No substantial famine has ever occurred in any independent and democratic country with a relatively free press Picture Quote #1

Starvation is the characteristic of some people not having enough food to eat. It is not the characteristic of there being not enough food to eat Picture Quote #1
Sometimes the lack of substantive freedoms relates directly to economic poverty, which robs people of the freedom to satisfy hunger; or to achieve sufficient nutrition, or to obtain remedies for treatable illnesses or the opportunity to be adequatley clothed or sheltered, or to enjoy clean water or sanitary facilities Picture Quote #1
Poverty is not just a lack of money; it is not having the capability to realize one’s full potential as a human being Picture Quote #1
There is considerable evidence that women’s education and literacy tend to reduce the mortality rates of children Picture Quote #1
Human development, as an approach, is concerned with what I take to be the basic development idea: namely, advancing the richness of human life, rather than the richness of the economy in which human beings live, which is only a part of it Picture Quote #1
While I am interested both in economics and in philosophy, the union of my interests in the two fields far exceeds their intersection Picture Quote #1

Opponents of globalisation may see it as a new folly, but it is neither particularly new, nor, in general, a folly Picture Quote #1
