Human Society Quotes

Pride is a vice not only dreadfully mischievous in human society, but perhaps of all others, the most insuperable bar to real inward improvement Picture Quote #1

All knowledge that is about human society, and not about the natural world, is historical knowledge, and therefore rests upon judgment and interpretation. This is not to say that facts or data are nonexistent, but that facts get their importance from what is made of them in interpretation… for interpretations depend very much on who the interpreter is, who he or she is addressing, what his or her purpose is, at what historical moment the interpretation takes place Picture Quote #1

The maltreatment of the natural world and its impoverishment leads to the impoverishment of the human soul. It is related to the outburst of violence in human society. To save the natural world today means to save what is human in humanity Picture Quote #1

Human society cannot basically stop the destruction of the environment under capitalism. Socialism is the only structure that makes it possible Picture Quote #1

We do not accept that human society should be constructed on the basis of a savage principle of the survival of the fittest Picture Quote #1

A global human society, characterised by islands of wealth, surrounded by a sea of poverty, is unsustainable Picture Quote #1

By accepting responsibility, we take effective steps toward our goal: an inclusive human society on a habitable planet, a society that works for all humans and for all nonhumans. By accepting responsibility, we move closer to creating a world that works for all Picture Quote #1

Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart Picture Quote #1

We have not always been forced to pass, to go underground, in order to work and live. We have a right to live openly and proudly... when our lives are suppressed, everyone is denied an understanding of the rich diversity of sex and gender expression and experience that exist in human society Picture Quote #1

Looting is a natural response to the unnatural and inhuman society of commodity abundance. It instantly undermines the commodity as such, and it also exposes what the commodity ultimately implies: the army, the police and the other specialized detachments of the state’s monopoly of armed violence Picture Quote #1

The whole of organic nature on our planet exists only by a relentless war of all against all... The raging war of interests in human society is only a feeble picture of an unceasing and terrible war of existence which reigns throughout the whole of the living world Picture Quote #1

Human society is born in the shadow of religious fear, and in that stage the suppression of heresy is a sacred social duty. Then comes the rise of a priesthood, and the independent thinker is met with punishment in this world and the threat of eternal damnation hereafter. Even today it is from the religious side that the greatest danger to freedom of thought comes. Religion is the last thing man will civilize Picture Quote #1

The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented. It was man’s ability to invent which has made human society what it is Picture Quote #1

No human society, present or past, has lacked music. Music is therefore one of the very few human universals, which puts it on the same level as food and sex Picture Quote #1

Once admit that we have the right to inflict unnecessary suffering and you destroy the very basis of human society Picture Quote #1

I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they’ve always gotten killed doing it. And they’ve always turned it into a matter of honor and a way of gaining acceptance back into society if they survived Picture Quote #1

If any country were indeed filled with men, each thus diligently discharging the duties of his own station without breaking in upon the rights of others, but on the contrary endeavoring, so far as he might be able, to forward their views and promote their happiness, all would be active and harmonious in the goodly frame of human society Picture Quote #1

I find the science behind major natural events almost more interesting than the way in which those same events wreak their effects on human society Picture Quote #1

How fortunate for governments that people do not think. There is no thinking except in giving and executing commands. If it were otherwise human society could not exist Picture Quote #1

No human society is too primitive to have some kind of literature. The only thing is that primitive literature hasn’t yet become distinguished from other aspects of life: it’s still embedded in religion, magic and social ceremonies Picture Quote #1

I know that it is likely that as worship of the gods declines, faith between men and all human society will disappear, as well as that most excellent of all virtues, which is justice Picture Quote #1

Religion is... the most pernicious single influence in human society, without one redeeming feature Picture Quote #1

If you want to design a successful human society, you need to know what kind of animal we are. Are we a social animal or a selfish animal? Do we respond better when we’re solitary or living in a group? Picture Quote #1

The future of human society. Had it made an irrevocably false start? The compass error that gets harder to correct with every mile you go? Picture Quote #1

Some level of truthfulness has always been seen as essential to human society, no matter how deficient the observance of other moral principles Picture Quote #1

Change, not habit, is what gets most of us down; habit is the stabilizer of human society, change accounts for its progress Picture Quote #1

Enthusiasm produces the most cruel disorders in human society; but its fury is like that of thunder and tempest, which exhaust themselves in a little time, and leave the air more calm and serene than before Picture Quote #1

Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body Picture Quote #1

Human society was so constituted, for human nature was so constituted, that the honour and dignity of a father were connected with that of a son; and there was no son who must not be disturbed and disquieted by imputations on his father Picture Quote #1

The great fact was the land itself, which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes Picture Quote #1
