The United States needed a civil war to unite properly.
Umberto Eco
Image
Yes, it is hard out there. But hard is relative. I come from a middle-class family, my parents are academics. I was born after the Civil Rights movement, I was a toddler during the women's movement, I live in the United States of America, all of which means I am allowed to own my freedom, my rights, my voice and my uterus.

Secretary [John] Kerry has called Civil War [in Syria] an unbelievably small war that we're going to get involved with.
Rand Paul
Image
I am not, in fact, a superhero. Just a humble, mild-mannered civil rights attorney.

As important as the civil rights movement was, I think what will rise to the top is that we left Earth in that time.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Image
My parents were civil rights activists, and my mother was active in the feminist movement. Issues concerning marginalized people and especially women of color were what they cared about most in the world.

We are committed to the Common Civil Code, Article 370 and building of a magnificent temple at the birthplace of Lord Ram.

Syria is a civil war. Syria began as a popular uprising, just like the other experiences in the Arab Spring, with a repressive government that responded by basically killing the protesters. It's not a genocide, it's a war, and there's a difference. Genocide is a preplanned attack on people because of who they are. This is a interstate conflict.

Everything that liberals want they call a civil right. This avoids them having to argue about it and puts the halo around the issue.
Ann Coulter
Image
Liberals are stalwart defenders of civil liberties - provided we're only talking about criminals.
Ann Coulter
Image
For liberalism is a delicate thing. It encompasses so much -- constitutional government, democratic elections, freedom of worship, civil rights, free trade -- that we think of it as timeless and universal. But liberalism came into being in a real place and time, like a flame it has wavered in various eras, and it can be snuffed out.
Russell Shorto

Yes. My mother was and still is a Folk Singer. She was very involved in the political movements for Unions and Civil rights. She sang with Pete Seeger among others. My father was an Actor.

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Victor Hugo
Image
Civil war.... What did the words mean? Was there any such thing as foreign war? Was not all warfare between men warfare between brothers?
Victor Hugo
Image
Justice is indivisible. You can't decide who gets civil rights and who doesn't.
Angela Davis
Image
Yes, I think it's really important to acknowledge that Dr. King, precisely at the moment of his assassination, was re-conceptualizing the civil rights movement and moving toward a sort of coalitional relationship with the trade union movement.
Angela Davis
Image
Some people tried to hurt us to protect themselves, their family and communities...This was one of the consequences of civil war. People stopped trusting each other, and every stranger became an enemy. Even people who knew you became extremely careful about how they related or spoke to you.
Ishmael Beah
Image
Civil disobedience does not admit of any violence or countenancing of violence directly or indirectly.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When people get out of jail, it is not easy for them to find a job. It is not easy for them to return to civil society.
Bernie Sanders
Image
The people who are good at being civil often lack strong convictions and people who have strong convictions often lack civility.
Martin E. Marty
Image
What we forget is that African Americans made the largest contribution to America, economically, before the Civil War of any sector of society. I read that the railroads were worth about $2 billion, but slavery was a $3 billion asset.
Andrew Young

For most of the world, civil and political rights... come as luxuries that are far away in the future.
Andrew Young
Image
In a sane, civil, intelligent and moral society, you don't blame poor people for being poor.
Andrew Young

Hemans gallows ought to be the fate of all such ambitious men who would involve their country in civil wars, and all the evils in its train that they might reign & ride on its whirlwinds & direct the Storm The free people of these United States have spoken, and consigned these wicked demagogues to their proper doom.
Andrew Jackson
