If a man has a *right* to marry, some woman must have the duty of marrying
him; if a man has a *right* to rest, some other person must have the duty
of supporting him. If rights are confused thus with desires, the mass of
men must feel always that some vast, intangible conspiracy thwarts their
attainment of what they are told is their inalienable birthright.
-- Russell Kirk, "The Conservative Mind"
