Basic Rights

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or rights:

    Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically—for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist—but then what isn’t?
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    Don’t forget your great guns, which are the most respectable arguments of the rights of kings.
