Injustice Quotes

“Do you know who is a human? Every creature that doesn't walk away at the sight of injustice, is a human. Every creature that doesn’t look the other way, when faced with corruption, is a human. Every creature that doesn’t turn a deaf ear to discrimination, is a human.”

“Every harm done to the society, is harm done to me - every injustice done to the society, is injustice done to me - every corruption faced by the society, is corruption faced by me. Such should be the thinking of a responsible and civilized individual of the human society.”

“I merely wish to point out that in the face of such a world you have only yourselves to rely on. You have only the decision you must make, each of you, alone. And will you contribute to the indifferent forces that ceaselessly conspire toward injustice? Or will you stand up against this endless tide and in the face of it be truly human?”

“Therefore it seemed a dreadful injustice that these wise races should perish at the hands of creatures who were still little more than animals. It was as if vultures feasted on and squabbled over the paralyzed body of the youthful poet who could only stare at them with puzzled eyes as they slowly robbed him of an exquisite existence they would never appreciate, never know they were taking.”

“Two Liberties (A Sonnet) There is not one but two liberties, One is savage and the other is civilized. Savage liberty lacks accountability, The civilized one makes us humanized. In the jungle liberty is the supreme law, But one that involves no accountability. Thus injustice is the norm of wildlife, But it can't be accepted in human society. Accountability is the line of control, Between human and animal behavior. You don't need intellect to draw the line, All you need is a well-formed character. So liberty must be guided by accountability, Only then can we create a sane society.”

“At our own free will, we must make this declaration to ourselves today - the declaration of justice - the declaration of order - the declaration of a united independence from the oppression of prejudices, hate and segregation. In the course of human events, if ever, injustice grabs hold of the landscape that we the people step foot on, it will be our organically divine right to abolish such injustice, with our thoughts, words and actions conscientious. We the people, each one of us, will do our utmost to create a society that needs not the intervention of law or any specialist authority. We will create a society of humans with our own two hands for the humans that are yet to be born, so that they may know justice and order in their life, which we have been deprived of due to the indifference and callousness of our ancestors. We the living, breathing and thinking humans do solemnly declare upon our functional conscience, that from this moment onwards, we will no longer adhere to the traditional habit of dependency, hypocrisy and meekness, and we will come to the aid of every human who faces injustice in any form, with this golden principle engraved upon our hearts, that there are no foreigners, only family.”

“The events happening in our life are random, we attach meaning to them, give reasons to justify why it happened, to save ourselves from drowning into madness. What compels me to make peace with this truth is the injustice that prevails all over the world, in private or public sphere. I don’t think if there is a God, amongst us or in Heaven, He will silently tolerate the pain and suffering of good, let them be massacred ruthlessly, while the evil flourishes and prospers. In this hopeless world where everything seems meaningless, the intended hope of religion to provide stability, contentment, and harmony has failed, and it itself lead the whole existence into unending vicious cycle of hatred and chaos.”

“Human of Revolution (The Sonnet) Human of revolution is not a human of vengeance, Human of evolution is not a human of recklessness. If vengeance 'n recklessness ensured human rights, The jungle would be the definition of kindness. Let your blood boil in the course of justice 'n equality, But don't become a monster in fighting monstrosity. Let the prehistoric cycle of cruelty break with you, So that humanity can dream beyond rights 'n dignity. It's not about getting vengeance, or about getting even, Justice begins with self-regulation, not law and order. Can you tell right from wrong without involving law, The day you do is the birth of actual, lasting order. I say, revolution means defending without descending. Hold their punches, hold your punches, 'n start dancing.”

“Intimidated, old traumas triggered, and fearing for my safety, I did what I felt I needed to do.”

“We are not wrong, perhaps, to be heedful of justice in the midst of a universe that heeds not at all; as the bee is not wrong to make honey in a world that itself can make none. But we are wrong to desire an external justice, since we know that it does not exist. Let that which is in us suffice. All is for ever being weighed and judged in our soul. It is we who shall judge ourselves; or rather, our happiness is our judge.”

“Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.”

“The most important gift you can give your children is the importance of standing up to injustice. Children will remember moments spent with you. However, it isn't togetherness that creates humane parents and righteous kids. It is the example of integrity that a parent sets and the on going lessons they teach about compassion toward others throughout their lives. A good father or mother teaches their children that cruelty is not something you cause or ignore, rather it is the moment you suit up for war.”

“Your dignity can be mocked, abused, compromised, toyed with, lowered and even badmouthed, but it can never be taken from you. You have the power today to reset your boundaries, restore your image, start fresh with renewed values and rebuild what has happened to you in the past.”
