Quote

We all have a fundamental right to live free from fear, free from crime, and free from disorder - but while we share that right, we also share the duty to secure it.

Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.

Life ceases to be so oppressive: we are free to give our own lives meaning and purpose, free to redeem our suffering by making something of it.

Human rights will be a powerful force for the transformation of reality when they are not simply understood as externally defined norms of behavior but are lived as the spontaneous manifestation of internalized values.

But we must create in each person a sense of responsibility in order that each one of us can have the right to enjoy all his rights.

We are gifted with freedom, but with that freedom comes the reality of the unknown and the responsibility to be aware of our surroundings and on guard against those who would do us harm.

You do not have the right to take another human's life, unless it's in strict self-defense.

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.

We try to show that violence has a consequence - when you create violence, it turns against you.

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.
