Simone Weil on rights...
Don't think that you have any rights. That is, don't obscure or deform justice, but don't think that one can legitimately expect that things happen in a way that conforms with justice; especially since we ourselves are far from being just.
Vertical superimposition.
There is a bad way of believing we have rights, and a bad way of believing we do not have any.
-Simone Weil, Notebooks, II.
