“Inequality and poverty, unhealth and no wealth are hand in hand.
And if we are all born equal that should be true in all lands.
We cannot divide the world between poor and rich countries.
It's like saying the ones are good, the others are junkies.
That can only increase more prejudice, miseries and sorrow.
Turning the wheel today it will lead to a better tomorrow.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, The Mysterious Murder of Marilyn Monroe

“We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe - some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they're born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes than others - some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of most men.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“Children, who made your skin white? Was it not God? Who made mine black? Was it not the same God? Am I to blame, therefore, because my skin is black?...Does not God love coloured children as well as white children? And did not the same Saviour die to save the one as well as the other?”
― Sojourner Truth

“But these two children were still young and knew little about these religious or any other kinds of differences. They saw each other as quite similar – both of them were humans and had the will to play and socialize. So what if they spoke different languages? – Their games didn’t need any language. So what if they were of different genders? – Their games could be played by anyone. So what if they were of different nationalities? – Their games didn’t concern any national affairs. To play their games, they just needed one thing – each other.”
― Tamuna Tsertsvadze, Desert Rose

“I’ve heard you say many times
That you’re better ’n no one
And no one is better ’n you
If you really believe that
You know you got
Nothing to win and nothing to lose”
― Bob Dylan

“The greatest risk most of us will take in our lifetime is that of repression or denial of basic rights of another person. The great risk is that you have no idea what will happen if that person you think so small or insignificant of stands up and totally eclipses the Sun in the universe of those lacking in empathy, humility, and humbleness.”
― Donavan Nelson Butler, Master Sergeant US Army

“Many are arrogant because of the knowledge they possess, but they have no knowledge of how arrogant they are.”

“Pourtant, et bien que je passe mon temps à établir de telles hiérarchies, bien que comme Limonov je ne puisse pas rencontrer un de mes semblables sans me demander plus ou moins consciemment si je suis au-dessus ou au-dessous de lui et en tirer soulagement ou mortification, je pense que cette idée ― je répète : « L’homme qui se juge supérieur, inférieur ou égal à un autre ne comprend pas la réalité » ― est le sommet de la sagesse et qu’une vie ne suffit pas à s’en imprégner, à la digérer, à se l’incorporer, en sorte qu’elle cesse d’être une idée pour informer le regard et l’action en toutes circonstances. Faire ce livre, pour moi, est une façon bizarre d’y travailler.”
― Emmanuel Carrère

“Be superior by having no inferiors. Don’t force for equality, but give. For it is not up to us to decide how others treat us, rather it is up to us how we treat each other, and how we improve as individuals.”
― JD

“I’m glad that this team has a woman for a leader,” Onoria finally said. Regina didn’t quite know how to reply. “I’m fed up with men in charge not knowing what they’re talking about.” Onoria turned towards Regina. “Aren’t you?”

“There are circumstances which can only be created and remedied in a crucible of fury, fire, and destruction like the serotinous cones of the Jack Pine and Lodgepole Pine trees. Only after exposed to extreme heat and enormous pressures will the cone open to begin anew and flourish amongst the cleansed but desolate landscape. Also, like the unpredictable restrained power of a dormant volcano storing it's potential energy over long periods of time gives way to this planets most enchanting display of scenic beauty to stark nightmarish backdrops. Egos are like wildfires to me because they start small but uncontrolled they will get out-of-hand and devour without prejudice. However, egotistical people are part of life and the best defense is a good offense with fire breaks dug in advance anticipation and left in place for when the right conditions present themselves where you must decide to fight that fire or be consumed by it.”
― Donavan Nelson Butler, Master Sergeant US Army

“Ray wanted an egalitarian relationship, there was no way in hell he was putting anyone through anything even close to what he'd been through. Revenge was just violence dressed up as justice, not the real thing.”
― N.J. Lysk, Beloved of the Pack

“Every time you decide how you are going to feel or think about a person based on a principle or standard that is unbiblical you have gone against God's code of love. Take this rule from me: You have never and will never look into the eyes of a person who God doesn't love as much as He loves you.”
― Kingsley Opuwari Manuel

“Generous, delicate persons never, when in the presence of a servant, use a comparison which might be injurious. For example: "Whatshisname behaves like a lackey." Great ladies in times gone by were scarcely so considerate, you might say, and I do know that there was indeed a duchess in the eighteenth century who was in the habit of sending her people to the Place de Grève at every execution, and she would say roughly, "Go to school!"
Nowadays we show greater care for human dignity and the righteous vulnerability of the small and humble; it is the honor of our era.
But nevertheless," he insisted, "the politeness of masters toward their servants must not degenerate into a base familiarity. For example, there is nothing quite so vulgar as listening to the gossip of one's servants.”
― Anna Gavalda, Hunting and Gathering

“Truman’s progressive civil rights record stood in some contrast with his personal prejudices. He differentiated between “political equality,” by which he meant the government’s duty to treat all citizens equally regardless of race, and “social equality,” which were code words for racial integration.”
― Richard Gergel, Unexampled Courage: The Blinding of Sgt. Isaac Woodard and the Awakening of President Harry S. Truman and Judge J. Waties Waring

“In short, you are all equal in everything except in ideas!”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo, Treatise Upon The Misconceptions of Narcissism

“It’s hard to demand equality and expect special treatment.”
― Frank Sonnenberg, Listen to Your Conscience: That's Why You Have One

“If someone said you something
which hurts you so much,
then just distract your mind
doing your favorite things and
prove other that you are not
offended by his words.”
― Ishu Rattan

“We are all going to the same place in life, we are just getting there at different times traveling down different roads but still, we are all traveling the same paths in life to the same end.
This is how life [guarantees] we are all "equal" to the end, despite what some people tend to falsely believe.”
― @AnonymousXgHOST

― Tanya Ward Jordan
