A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share.

And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others. – Leo C. Rosten	added by anonymous 14 years ago

The conception of worth, that each person is an end per se, is not a mere abstraction. Our interest in it is not merely academic. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to be respected and revered. – Felix Adler	added by anonymous 14 years ago

...nobody has the right to manipulate anybody or to impress anybody with his stronger personality, not even for the other's imagined good, for nobody can know what that good is. This is courtesy rather than callousness, for the other's dignity is thus acknowledged, or the dignity of his grief is respected. If and when he is ready, the other will of himself reach out for consolation and feel free to ask for a hand to point out the way. – Imgard Schloegl	added by anonymous 14 years ago
