I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited thankfully.

The questions which one asks oneself begin at least to illuminate the world and become one's key to the experience of others.

From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history) men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.

Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?

Human beings who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Equality of rights means that some people cannot simply impose obligations on others for the moral agency and rights of those others would then be violated.

As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers all with plenty of children gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day.

In Canada women's rights are a vital part of our effort to build a society of real equality - not just for some but for all Canadians. A society in which women no longer encounter discrimination nor are shut out from opportunities open to others.

I believe that as women we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.

Unless man is committed to the belief that all mankind are his brothers then he labors in vain and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality.
