Famous quotes containing the words individual, rights and/or model:
“Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong? Are laws to be enforced simply because they were made? or declared by any number of men to be good, if they are not good? Is there any necessity for a mans being a tool to perform a deed of which his better nature disapproves?”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Dat little man in black dar, he say women cant have as much rights as men, cause Christ want a woman! Whar did your Christ come from? Whar did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothin to do wid Him.”
—Sojourner Truth (17971883)
“When Titian was mixing brown madder,
His model was posed up a ladder.
Said Titian, That position
Calls for coition,
So he lept up the ladder and had her.”
