In the state of nature profit is the measure of right.

I can tell you for sure: people who are at their peak right now will not sustain that. You can't. It's against the law of nature.

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other it seems to me in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband that they belong to each other in the name of Nature and are lovers by Divine right in spite of human convention or the laws.

If a person is homosexual by nature - that is if one's sexuality is as intrinsic a part of one's identity as gender or skin color - then society can no more deny a gay person access to the secular rights and religious sacraments because of his homosexuality than it can reinstate Jim Crow.

No man has received from nature the right to command his fellow human beings.

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued we would need no zoos at all.

Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.

The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power as he will himself for the preservation of his own nature that is to say of his own life.

Men speak of natural rights but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written as with a sunbeam in the whole volume of human nature by the hand of the divinity itself and can never be erased.

Also because people like to multitask in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise but leave your brain free to do something else.

The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.

The Christian community latched onto a lot of my music because there were a lot of things about my struggle they related to. But I didn't really want to come out and be identified as a Christian because I didn't want to be a hypocrite because my life wasn't right.

Reading is more of a left-brain process and listening to music is a right-brain function.

That was a time when I did love music I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential so immediately.
