Ebbe un ruolo importante nel processo di creazione delle Nazioni Unite, della United Nations Association e della Freedom House.

Presiedette la commissione che delineò e approvò la Dichiarazione universale dei diritti dell'uomo. Il Presidente Harry Truman la celebrò con l'appellativo di First Lady of the World, in onore dei suoi sforzi per la difesa dei diritti umani.

Eleanor Roosevelt Frasi e Citazioni

I would not be very much surprised if some writers or actors or stagehands, or what not, were found to have Communist leanings, but I was surprised to find that, at the start of the inquiry, some of the big producers were so chicken-hearted about speaking up for the freedom of their industry.
One thing is sure — none of the arts flourishes on censorship and repression. And by this time it should be evident that the American public is capable of doing its own censoring. Certainly, the Thomas Committee is growing more ludicrous daily. (29 October 1947)

Foreword (January 1960)
You Learn by Living (1960)
Contesto: One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.

The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
