The Social Contract & Discourse

  • Cecilie Birkshøjhas quoted3 years ago
    The words slave and right contradict each other, and are mutually exclusive.
  • Cecilie Birkshøjhas quoted3 years ago
    War then is a relation, not between man and man, but between State and State, and individuals are enemies only accidentally, not as men, nor even as citizens,[1] but as soldiers; not as members of their country, but as its defenders. Finally, each State can have for enemies only other States, and not men; for between things disparate in nature there can be no real relation.
  • Cecilie Birkshøjhas quoted3 years ago
    The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.
  • Cecilie Birkshøjhas quoted3 years ago
    Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.
