America Quotes
Media is so ubiquitous in America that we take it for granted. It's like turning on your tap and water comes out. You turn on your radio and you expect to hear music or commentary. But there are large portions of the world where people have no credible information whatsoever, and it's no surprise that these tend to be the same areas where there is endemic poverty, injustice and a lack of democracy.

Ancient Quotes
Negro poverty is not white poverty, ... Many of its causes and many of its cures are the same. But there are differences - deep, corrosive, obstinate differences, radiating painful roots into the community and into the family and the nature of the individual. These differences are not racial differences. They are solely and simply the consequence of ancient brutality, past injustice and present prejudice. They are anguishing to observe. For the negro they are a constant reminder of oppression.

Conditions Quotes
We must improve the shared conditions in which we live, of course, but the essential purpose of that will be in order to inhabit more fully the necessary and unalterable terms of our existence. Take away the avoidable injustices of some lives that we may humanly share in the unavoidable injustice that is in all our lives.

Attention Quotes
It is so central to these anti-discrimination laws to make sure those that complain about discrimination are protected. If we can't protect the people -- like Roderick Jackson -- who complain, it is not only an injustice to them, it undermines the very substance of these discrimination laws to make sure those who see that something wrong are protected when they bring it to attention with authority to fix it.

Achieving Quotes
The thing I want to see before I die is women achieving full equality in the world. I'm very passionate about injustice against women and there's too much of it in the world. In so many parts of the world, women are not regarded as worthy or equal to men. In parts of the world, women are bought and sold.

Corrupts Quotes
Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.

Emotions Quotes
This is something that Brian and I worked really hard on, putting comedy next to really scary stuff. It was trying to find out how to let people have the experience of what is sort of terrifying in life, whatever that emotion of injustice is that just makes you feel like this is wrong then give them a way out in the next breath.

Belonged Quotes
It's a step in the right direction. The illegal presence of those settlers in a land that belonged to Palestinians was a major cause of the ongoing conflict and confrontations. So correcting this injustice by removing those settlers and bringing back the land to its natural and legal owners is going to contribute, hopefully, to the prospects of peace between the two sides.

Charges Quotes
It is unfortunate that a small number of people, pursuing their own agendas, have persisted in making unfounded charges of a government cover-up in this investigation, ... These people do a grievous injustice to the many dedicated individuals, civilian and military, who have been involved in this investigation.

Establish Quotes
It is the task of theologians to establish the limits of justice and injustice regarding the intrinsic goodness or wickedness of an act; it is the task of the observer of public life to establish the relationships of political justice and injustice, that is, of what is useful or harmful to society.

Album Quotes
I don't pretend to be any smarter than Average Joe. To be honest, I'm not even sure what I'm saying half the time. My vocabulary is not as big as my lyrics would suggest. That said, I've always had a passion for creative writing, language and wordplay. I think a singer has a dual opportunity to be artistic: I have my voice as my instrument, but I also have an entire language at my disposal. Why not explore the outer realms? I'd be doing this band an injustice if I did anything less. I wanted this album to be more poetic, with less ranting and raving, and I think I did that, but without sacrificing my intellect or personal philosophies.

Rights Quotes
I have been the victim of many of the injustices that women who are my clients have had. That is how I understand how this is impacting their lives economically, psychologically, often physically. It's all personal. For me, if one woman is denied her rights, we're all being denied our rights.

Positive Quotes
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves..
