Recognizes

Famous quotes containing the word recognizes:

“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.”
—Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)

“The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)

“Postmodernism refuses to privilege any one perspective, and recognizes only difference, never inequality, only fragments, never conflict.”
—Elizabeth Wilson (b. 1936)
