Human Rights Violations

Famous quotes containing the words human, rights and/or violations:

“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats.

—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

“All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.”

—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
