Human Worth Quotes

“Failure to recognize one's own absolute significance is equivalent to a denial of human worth; this is a basic error and the origin of all unbelief. If one is so faint-hearted that he is powerless even to believe in himself, how can he believe in anything else? The basic falsehood and evil of egoism lie not in this absolute self-consciousness and self-evaluation of the subject, but in the fact that, ascribing to himself in all justice an absolute significance, he unjustly refuses to others this same significance. Recognizing himself as a centre of life (which as a matter of fact he is), he relegates others to the circumference of his own being and leaves them only an external and relative value.”

“Each human person is precious and unique. Each has dignity and worth that is inalienable and must be respected. Each must be valued, not because they are a member of the species Homo sapiens, but as an individual person in their own right.”

“Sometimes an understanding silence was better than a bunch of meaningless words." "You brought me back to life when I didn’t even know I was dead inside." "Everyone has a story, Archer. Everyone has a past. It’s what you do with it that matters." "I didn’t want to fix him. I just wanted to love him while he healed himself." "You make me want to try. You make me believe that I’m not too far gone." "You taught me that I wasn’t invisible. That I mattered. That I was enough." "You healed me in places I didn’t even know were broken." "I had learned that the most powerful voices were the ones that often spoke the least, and yet meant the most.”
