We are all
alike, on the inside.
-- Mark Twain

All people are
equal, it is not birth, it is virtue alone that makes the
difference.
-- Voltaire
1694-1778, French Historian,
Writer
Modern
equalitarian societies whether democratic or authoritarian
in their political forms, always base themselves on the
claim that they are making life happier. Happiness thus
becomes the chief political issue -- in a sense, the only
political issue -- and for that reason it can never be
treated as an issue at all.
-- Robert Warshow
Equality is
the public recognition, effectively expressed in
institutions and manners, of the principle that an equal
degree of attention is due to the needs of all human beings.
-- Simone Weil
1910-1943, French
Philosopher, Mystic
