Quote

I am passionate about human rights.

I am an American citizen and feel I am entitled to the same rights as any other citizen.

There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

I support the rights of non-humans wholeheartedly with my voice, my money, my presence, my writing and any other way I can.

If someone tried to deprive you of your rights, you've got to resist it. You've got to resent it. You've got to fight against it.

Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.

The right of conscience and private judgment is unalienable, and it is truly the interest of all mankind to unite themselves into one body for the liberty, free exercise, and unmolested enjoyment of this right.

I know that I have the right freely to speak and publish my sentiments, subject only to the laws of the land for the abuse of that right.

Our political and constitutional rights, so called, are but the natural and inherent rights of man, asserted, carried out, and secured by modes of human contrivance.

Human rights is something that wasn't hard to be inspired to write about because there have been so many violations of those rights.
