Society Quotes

Free speech is the bedrock of liberty and a free society. And yes, it includes the right to blaspheme and offend Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be a strong hero who can save society. I just want to save myself Picture Quote #1

You forget that you do choose your life, and there are so many things to be grateful for. I feel like society has gotten to that point where we’re always looking for the next and the better, and we lose sight of what’s actually in front of us Picture Quote #1

Don’t play it safe. Resist the seductions of the cowardly values our society has come to prize so highly: comfort, convenience, security, predictability, control. These, too, are nets. Above all, resist the fear of failure. Yes, you will make mistakes. But they will be your mistakes, not someone else’s. And you will survive them, and you will know yourself better for having made them, and you will be a fuller and a stronger person Picture Quote #1

I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society; pain is very much the enemy. And I don’t think that’s true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that’s the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin Picture Quote #1

When women are able to live in a safe and secure environment, they can participate effectively in the economy and society. This helps overcome poverty, reduces inequalities and is beneficial for children’s nutrition, health and school attendance. Every woman and girl has the right to live in safety in her home and community Picture Quote #1

Resistance is a simple concept: power, unjust and immoral, is confronted and dismantled. The powerful are denied their right to hurt the less powerful. Domination is replaced by equity in a shift or substitution of institutions. That shift eventually forms new human relationships, both personally and across society Picture Quote #1

Animals have two vital functions in today’s society; to be delicious and to fit well Picture Quote #1

Anything that you can shock somebody with. The only way to change something is to shock it. If you want your muscles to grow, you have to shock them. If you want society to change, you have to shock them Picture Quote #1

Any society that doesn’t take care of its weaker younger members is not one to be proud of Picture Quote #1

The idea that ballet is a white art is absurd and shocking, and it’s gone on for too long. Nothing would make me happier than having a company that reflects society, to have dancers onstage that people can relate to Picture Quote #1

The place of cycling in our society is set to grow, and I am committed to doing everything possible to encourage that Picture Quote #1

As I often say, we have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2014, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways. Though racism may be less blatant now in many cases, its existence is undeniable Picture Quote #1

Islam has some of the best defenses against other God viruses and has the potential to be more parasitically aggressive when consolidating political power with a society Picture Quote #1

Passion for equality blinds the utopian to the fact that society, as a whole, is based on inequality of men in two respects: the inventor, the innovator, the exceptional man creates something new and insures continuous progress; the others emulate his work or merely improve their own lot by benefiting from his creativity Picture Quote #1

Our point of view is, lets not be so elitist that we can’t honor good, hard, dignified, ennobling work: people working with their hands, building things, putting up solar panels, weatherizing homes, working on organic agriculture, building wind farms. We don’t have robots in society, so somebody has to do that work. Lets make sure that the people who can use that work get a chance to do it. I see that as a first step toward bigger and better things Picture Quote #1

Socrates said the perfect society would be based on a great lie. People would be told that lie from the cradle, and they would believe it, because human beings need to make order out of chaos Picture Quote #1

I think solitude is a really positive thing. I cherish solitude immensely. In today’s society, there’s so much pressure to communicate, eat out, be friends with people. Why can’t you read a book on your own? Why have you got to have a book club? Picture Quote #1

A greater awareness in architects and planners of their real value to society could, at the present, result in that rare occurrence, namely, the improvement of the quality of life as a result of architectural endeavour Picture Quote #1

It is absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt that more firearms in a society actually cuts the amount of crime in that same society Picture Quote #1

Government by idea tends to take in everything, to make the whole of society obedient to the idea. Spaces not so governed are unconquered, beyond the border, unconverted, a future danger Picture Quote #1

I believe that a guarantee of public access to government information is indispensable in the long run for any democratic society... if officials make public only what they want citizens to know, then publicity becomes a sham and accountability meaningless Picture Quote #1

Donate and do not talk about it, they say you do nothing for the society; do and talk about it, they say you seek publicity! Picture Quote #1

No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings Picture Quote #1

If you say to people that they, as a matter of fact, can’t protect their conversations, in particular their political conversations, I think you take a long step toward making a transition from a free society to a totalitarian society Picture Quote #1

What a state of society is this in which freethinker is a term of abuse, and in which doubt is regarded as sin? Picture Quote #1

In a free society, individuals have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don’t threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others Picture Quote #1

How can a modern anthropologist embark upon a generalization with any hope of arriving at a satisfactory conclusion? By thinking of the organizational ideas that are present in any society as a mathematical pattern Picture Quote #1

The organization of society is always and everywhere the unique cause of the crimes committed by individuals Picture Quote #1

The sufferings of neurosis and psychosis are for us a schooling in the passions of the soul, just as the beam of the psychoanalytic scales, when we calculate the tilt of its threat to entire communities, provides us with an indication of the deadening of the passions in society Picture Quote #1
