Ali Mohsen - Individual

Famous quotes containing the word individual:

“A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

“Men hate the individual whom they call avaricious only because nothing can be gained from him.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
