" "When one speaks of a ‘human right’, does one mean that this right possesses an intrinsic value, an absolute value or an instrumental value?

Additional quotes by Alain de Benoist
The opposite concept of the Latin religio should be sought in the Latin verb negligere. To be religious is synonymous with responsibility, not neglect. To be responsible is to be free — to possess the concrete means of exercising free action. At the same time, to be free is also to be connected to others by a common spirituality.
