Society Quotes

As a society, we need to get lots more flexible about what constitutes beauty. It isn’t a particular hair color or a particular body type; it’s the woman who grew the hair and lives in the body. Keeping this in mind can only make things better Picture Quote #1

There is nothing sacred or untouchable except the freedom to think. Without criticism, that is to say, without rigor and experimentation, there is no science, without criticism there is no art or literature. I would also say that without criticism there is no healthy society Picture Quote #1

No doubt exists that rent seeking in general leads to serious inefficiencies in this direct sense, but its indirect damage is even worse. Drawing the bulk of intelligent and energetic people in society into activity that has no social product, or may have a negative social product, is more important in explaining the stagnation of these societies than the direct social cost of the rent seeking Picture Quote #1

Any society that you build will have its limits. And outside the limits of any society the unruly and heroic tramps will wander with their wild and virgin thoughts…planning ever new and dreadful outbursts of rebellion Picture Quote #1

In a society which really supported marriage the wife would be encouraged to go to the office and make love to her husband on the company’s time and with its blessing Picture Quote #1

Society is doing a great deal for the workingman, for the lower classes; but it seems to me, sometimes, as if it formed associations to obtain for them toys, and then formed other associations to teach them to play with them Picture Quote #1

Jazz is one of the few things you can do in society and express yourself freely and creatively Picture Quote #1

Profit is proof that the capitalist has given something to society that it cherishes more than the material wealth it has given to the businessman Picture Quote #1

There are a great many people in our society who are happy, but since they don’t know they’re happy, they’re not happy Picture Quote #1

We’re designed to be hunters and we’re in a society of shopping. There’s nothing to kill anymore, there’s nothing to fight, nothing to overcome, nothing to explore. In that societal emasculation this everyman is created Picture Quote #1

There is a desperate tendency to try to legislate artists, to try to lay down rules for their obligations to society. Just leave artists alone. If you are a true artist, you will have a very finely tuned moral mechanism Picture Quote #1

The sharecropper may lower his eyes, but not because he’s less of a man. That’s just a condition of society that such things exist Picture Quote #1

What is art? A violet. Is that all? An artistic style is a living entity, a continuous process of invention. It can never be imposed from without; born of the profoundest tendencies within a society, its direction is to a certain extent unpredictable, in much the same way as the eventual configuration of a tree’s branches Picture Quote #1

I was taught to confront things you can’t avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you’re trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don’t last for ever makes them beautiful Picture Quote #1

Art is a criticism of society and life, and I believe that if life became perfect, art would be meaningless and cease to exist Picture Quote #1

Empathy is not merely the basic principle of artistic creation. It is also the only path by which one can reach the truth about life and society Picture Quote #1

Democracy is not a mere consequence, a certain stage in the development of society. It is the condition on which the survival of productive forces depends Picture Quote #1

All about us the sense of disenchantment with technology appears to be growing. No one... can ignore the fall of the engineer from the dizzying heights he once occupied... with the coming of the environmental crisis, our relationship to society has changed. We cannot... pretend that... a hundred space spectaculars can restore things to what they were Picture Quote #1

To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives Picture Quote #1

In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating Picture Quote #1

We live in a highly polarized society. We need to try to understand each other in respectful ways. To that end, I believe that we should make room for both spiritual atheists and thinking believers Picture Quote #1

If religion has given birth to all that is essential in society, it is because the idea of society is the soul of religion Picture Quote #1

Public policy in the twentieth century was about protecting and expanding the social compact, based on recognition that effective government at the federal level provides rules and services and safety measures that contribute to a better society Picture Quote #1

Often too many expectations are put on by society as to what we’re supposed to look like and it’s fed to people at an age that’s too young Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a worry that an excessive use or an almost exclusive use of text and emails means that as a society we’re losing some of the ability to build interpersonal communication that’s necessary for living together and building a community Picture Quote #1

We develop social systems for the handicapped, but when you’re handicapped in your mind, society doesn’t handle those situations well. I think we don’t recognize or acknowledge the power of messages and how deeply affected we all are by the messages we receive from the media Picture Quote #1

The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone, many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment Picture Quote #1

I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 years. I made up my mind that that was never going to happen to me again. I made a brave step to walk out in a society when you didn’t walk out of an abusive marriage. It was mental and physical abuse Picture Quote #1

I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons Picture Quote #1

It is not our sexual preferences, the color of our skin, the language we speak, nor the religion we practice that creates friction, hatred and wars amongst in society. It is our words and the words of our leaders that can create that disparity Picture Quote #1
