Books and opinions, no matter from whom they came, if they are in opposition to human rights, are nothing but dead letters.

Emancipation from every kind of bondage is my principle. I go for recognition of human rights, without distinction of sect, party, sex, or color.

All that I can tell you is, that I used my humble powers to the uttermost, and raised my voice in behalf of Human Rights in general, and the elevation and Rights of Woman in particular, nearly all my life.

Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.

Gay rights are human rights.

Human rights, no matter whom they affect, are something that should matter to all of us. It's always been a part of my life.
