More From Herbert Read
- "The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals – its philosophers, its poets and its artists."
- "I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration."
- "My own early experiences in war led me to suspect the value of discipline, even in that sphere where it is so often regarded as the first essential for success."
More In Equality
- "Well, my view before was a Western view, and I certainly understand marriage equality and civil rights, equal rights for all, but having visited developing nations and some of the poorest nations in the world, I realize how deep it goes and how much work really needs to be done to create equality for all."― Jason Mraz
- "In science, all facts, no matter how trivial or banal, enjoy democratic equality."― Mary McCarthy
- "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."― Hilary Rosen
