Democracy not only requires equality but also an unshakable conviction in the value of each person, who is then equal.

It is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it.

Democracy does not require perfect equality, but it does require that citizens share a common life. What matters is that people of different backgrounds and social positions encounter one another, and bump up against one another, in the course of ordinary life.

We live in a world where equality is pretty important.

Thus, the struggle for peace includes the struggle for freedom and justice for the masses of all countries.

Nobody really believes in equality anyway.

Looking for equality everywhere is a huge mistake because equals are terrible and boring. But a sense of fairness and justice is a totally different thing and a much more complex thing.

We are all equal, rich and poor, and we need a society where the people enjoy their rights.

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

I feel if you believe in equality, you have to believe in it for everybody. And that's the way I've always lived my life.
