Natural isn't the same as right. Normal isn't the same as moral. Everyone deserves a say in what happens to the world.

About This Quote

In this quote, author Rebecca Solnit is arguing that every person has the right to have a say in what happens in the world. She asks, "Who gives us the right to decide what's 'natural' and what's not? Who gets to decide if something should be 'normal' and what it should be? Who should decide what we should do and how we should behave?" This means that everyone should have a say in the decisions that affect our lives. One person cannot decide for everyone else. Only those who share those same feelings or ideas can decide for themselves.
