Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hands are properly his.

 - John Locke

Political, social, and economic changes entail the recognition of new rights, and the common law, in its eternal youth, grows to meet the demands of society . . .Now the right to life has come to mean the right to enjoy life, -- the right to be let alone; the right to liberty secures the exercise of extensive civil privileges; and the term ‘‘property'' has grown to comprise every form of possession -- intangible, as well as tangible.

 - Louis Brandeis
