Equal Rights Quotes

“So, let me get this straight-- You want me to stop being a lesbian and being attracted to women because it is a 'sin'? Last time I checked, when you lie you are sinning. Sure, I could tell you I am no longer a lesbian or that I am no longer attracted to women and am straight, or I could even tell you the moon is made of cheese. I could tell you many things, but the moon will still not be made of cheese, and I will still not be attracted to men. I could tell you a lie in order to placate you, but isn’t the truth supposed to set me free? I choose truth over lies any day of the week.”

“Inequality and poverty, unhealth and no wealth are hand in hand. And if we are all born equal that should be true in all lands. We cannot divide the world between poor and rich countries. It's like saying the ones are good, the others are junkies. That can only increase more prejudice, miseries and sorrow. Turning the wheel today it will lead to a better tomorrow.”

“The only thing we want to put forth is that women must acquire greater freedom and rights. The current system, with all its errors, is sustained by the ignorance and slavery of women.”

“How do we erase phobia from the world? First make a name for yourself, then associate that name to everything the world is ignorantly afraid of. In a pavlovian world where rating-hungry separatist media has conditioned the people to subconsciously relate every act of terror to a specific community, use your life to decondition the world - stand as the first human who is not afraid of humankind. That's why I say - I am a muslim poet, a humanitarian scientist, a latin lover, and an advaitin monk - I am an alternate dimension - an immeasurable dimension - where human oneness takes preference over animal separateness.”

“Your gender may not help to make me feel comfortable; but I will absolutely defend your right to live in a way that doesn't require you to make me feel comfortable. Your skin colour may not be my skin colour; but I will absolutely defend your right to live in your own skin just as much as I live in mine. Your religion or absence of any religion may not align with my own beliefs; but I will absolutely defend your right to believe in anything or nothing at all. Since I'm a human too, I will defend your birthright to be the kind of human that you are.”

“Eradication represents a complete change of philosophy and a recognition of the equal rights of all citizens to protection from infection, no matter where they live. Eradication, by its very nature, is public health with a conscience. The public health control officer can sleep tranquilly, salving his conscience with the thought that most of his responsibility has been discharged – that he did not have enough money to do any more. The eradicator knows that his success is not measured by what has been accomplished but, rather, is the extent of his failure indicated by what remains to be done. He must stamp out the last embers of infection in his jurisdiction. His slogan must be: ANY IS TOO MANY.”

“The average colored person is ten times smarter, wiser, braver, and stronger, than most white people, not because we are genetically superior, but because, when an entire planet is rigged in favor of white colonials over the black, the brown, the latino, arab, indian, chinese, turk, and what not, we have to be exceptional to survive.”

“All said and done, in our headstrong struggle for inclusion, we mustn't also underestimate everything we have achieved so far as a species. As a matter of fact, we've come a long way since our tribal days of division and discrimination. Let me show you how. World's most beloved poet, Mevlana Rumi, was a muslim - world's icon of civil rights, MLK, was a black person - world's greatest inspiration of science, Albert Einstein, was a German Jew - and most recently, as of 2023, PM of UK and VP of US, both are of Indian origin. So don't tell me, we've achieved nothing - don't tell me, there is no hope for integration! Integration is happening all over the world, despite the ancient impediments of intolerance and hate. Therefore, the question is not whether integration is possible - real question is, are you a part of that integration, or aren't you! Our home is planet earth - and here on earth, we all cry the same pain, smile the same joy, and live the same love.”

“Ce n'est pas pour cracher dans la soupe, mais il faut être honnête: non, mon amoureux n'est pas parfait. Il ne me viole pas et ne me frappe pas, il fait la vaisselle, passe l'aspirateur et me traite avec le respect que je mérite. C'est ça, être parfait? Ou bien est-ce la moindre des choses? Les standards sont-ils tellement bas que les hommes peuvent s'en tirer à si bon compte?”

“Proof of Sapiens (Sonnet 2403) If a 3 pound brain can contain a 100 billion nerve cells, a planet with land the size of 20 billion stadiums should have room for 10 billion people. Then how come, so many have to survive on so little, on a planet this size, this rich! It all comes down to hoarding - if we cared more about social responsibility than social etiquette, we wouldn't have such drastic paradoxes of disparity. In English we say: proof of the pudding is in the eating. In Naskarian we say: proof of the Sapiens is in the sharing.”

“Pourtant, et bien que je passe mon temps à établir de telles hiérarchies, bien que comme Limonov je ne puisse pas rencontrer un de mes semblables sans me demander plus ou moins consciemment si je suis au-dessus ou au-dessous de lui et en tirer soulagement ou mortification, je pense que cette idée ― je répète : « L’homme qui se juge supérieur, inférieur ou égal à un autre ne comprend pas la réalité » ― est le sommet de la sagesse et qu’une vie ne suffit pas à s’en imprégner, à la digérer, à se l’incorporer, en sorte qu’elle cesse d’être une idée pour informer le regard et l’action en toutes circonstances. Faire ce livre, pour moi, est une façon bizarre d’y travailler.”

“BL series play an important role in creating a space where people feel they're not alone. Seeing characters on screen who reflect your own identity or feelings is deeply meaningful. It reinforces the idea that all forms of love are beautiful and equally valuable, and helps push society toward greater openness and inclusion.”
