Equality Act

Famous quotes containing the words equality and/or act:

    Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
    James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    quaking muscles in the act of birth,
    Between her legs a pigmy face appear,
    And the first murderer lay upon the earth.
    Alec Derwent Hope (b. 1907)
