Water must be free for sustenance needs. Since nature gives water to us free of cost, buying and selling it for profit violates our inherent right to nature’s gift and denies the poor of their human rights Picture Quote #1

I think acceptance of human rights is going to progress from one day to the next. I don’t think there’s going to be any violent revolution about the whole thing anywhere.

We’ve learned that it will take more than one generation to bring about change.

Human beings did not have rights. Human beings created, from nothing, the domain of human rights. They called it up. They languaged it. They communicated it. Communication has that power.

And to know yourself, to know your self, as a context creator, is to transform the quality of your life Picture Quote #1

Women and gay people are the litmus test of whether a society is democratic and respecting human rights. We are the canaries in the mine Picture Quote #1

Further, democratic negotiators, or foreign negotiation specialists accepted to assist in the negotiations, may in a single stroke provide the dictators with the domestic and international legitimacy that they had been previously denied because of their seizure of the state, human rights violations, and brutalities. Without that desperately needed legitimacy, the dictators cannot continue to rule indefinitely Picture Quote #1

To the greatest extent possible, I try to make choices that involve the least amount of cruelty and environmental damage.

Much of human progress has been in defiance of religion or of the apparent natural order.

If we continue to tell ourselves the popular myths about racial progress or, worse yet, if we say to ourselves that the problem of mass incarceration is just too big, too daunting for us to do anything about and that we should instead direct our energies to battles that might be more easily won, history will judge us harshly. A human rights nightmare is occurring on our watch Picture Quote #1
