"There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person."
"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."
"He who is only just is cruel. Who on earth could live were all judged justly?"
