The abuse of detainees in U.S. custody has severely undermined our Nation's position in the world.

If this superstitious fear of Spirits were taken away, and with it, Prognostiques from Dreams, false Prophecies, and many other things depending thereon, by which, crafty ambitious persons abuse the simple people, men would be much more fitted then they are for civill Obedience.
Thomas Hobbes

What about this overcrowded land/How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Marvin Gaye
Image
But then, look at me. My brain is incorrectly formed, and I'm shaped like a tube. Plus, I'm an alcoholic, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, was raised in a cult and have no education. So, really, if you think about it, the only thing that separates me from the guy with the stinky foot and no teeth is a book deal and some cologne.
Augusten Burroughs

Men should do their actual living and working in communities small enough to permit of genuine self-government and the assumption of personal responsibilities, federated into larger units in such a way that the temptation to abuse great power should not arise.
Mahatma Gandhi

FOOD is the most widely abused anti-anxiety drug in America, and EXERCISE is the most potent yet underutilized antidepressant.

We now recognize that abuse and neglect may be as frequent in nuclear families as love, protection, and commitment are in nonnuclear families.

Let me say this: I believe closing Guantanamo is in our Nation's national security interest. Guantanamo is used not only by al-Qaida, but also by other nations, governments, and individuals - people good and bad - as a symbol of America's abuse of Muslims, and it is fanning the flames of anti-Americanism around the world.

The sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church is the result of what police call noble cause corruption, the belief that because you are dedicated to doing good, you can do no wrong.
Alex Gibney
Image
No matter what sort of adversity or challenge you might face, you can always believe that, with hope, it can be conquered and, in the end, you will be stronger for it.

It was cool to me, as a fan of the comics, to see some of the villains that end up finding them there, and the way that they abuse Coulson before the superheroes come. I'm always, in the movies or in the animated series, getting into trouble that a superhero has to bail me out of.
Clark Gregg

No is a word that must never be negotiated, because the person who chooses not to hear it is trying to control you... Declining to hear no is a signal that someone is either seeking control or refusing to relinquish it.
Gavin de Becker

The government doesn't really prosecute for polygamy anymore, but a lot of the arrests are of groups supporting themselves through welfare scams or for child abuse. So that was all I'd really heard about polygamists.
Jeanne Tripplehorn
Image
One main problem with raising awareness of LGBT abuse is the denial. The term domestic violence is perceived as something akin to alcoholism, (I don't sit on a park bench drinking) and people do not see that they are perpetrating or are a victim of DV because they have a set idea about what it is.
Kim Kardashian

It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts.
Ella Fitzgerald
Image
Sit peacefully in a church and think of church history: witchburning perhaps, or child abuse, genocide, the amassing of disgusting wealth, the repression of women, inquisitions, castrating child choir singers, the denial of Santa Claus and the support of fascists in power.

Child abuse is a heinous and personally damaging crime it is therefore incumbent on the Church to treat such matters with the utmost seriousness.

It seems to me like Mother Nature's mercy and forgiveness have run dry, as we ceaselessly abuse her and take her for granted in order for us to continue our addiction to using fossil fuels. I've gotta say, I don't blame her. Not one bit.
Gloria Reuben
Image
That paper money has some advantages is admitted. But that its abuses also are inevitable and, by breaking up the measure of value, makes a lottery of all private property, cannot be denied.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Female sexuality is presented in our culture as a male fantasy, which doesn't include the reality of the abuse, the pleasure, the pain, the power, the complexity of women's sexuality.
Deborah Kampmeier
Image
I saw people around me who were falling deeper and deeper into alcoholism and substance abuse. It's seductive because alcohol is amazing and drugs are amazing, they work so well.
Moby
Image
We have come far, but there is an ongoing battle to be fought. Many of the issues the Suffragettes were dealing with are still issues today across the globe: equal pay, parental rights, sexual abuse, etc.
Sarah Gavron
Image
The pain from the abuse never went away, I just embraced it to become what I am today
Timothy Long
Image
I don't make personal abuse against anybody, I don't mind personal remarks.
