Society Quotes

The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself Picture Quote #1

Whatever each man can separately do, without trespassing upon others, he has a right to do for himself; and he has a right to a fair portion of all which society, with all it combinations of skill and force, can do in his favor. In this partnership all men have equal rights; but not to equal things Picture Quote #1

It may seem to your conceited to suppose that you can do anything important toward improving the lot of mankind. But this is a fallacy. You must believe that you can help bring about a better world. A good society is produced only by good individuals, just as truly as a majority in a presidential election is produced by the votes of single electors. Everybody can do something toward creating in his own environment kindly feelings rather than anger, reasonableness rather than hysteria, happiness rather than misery Picture Quote #1

Bourgeois society is infected by monomania: the monomania of accounting. For it, the only thing that has value is what can be counted in francs and centimes. It never hesitates to sacrifice human life to figures which look well on paper, such as national budgets or industrial balance sheets Picture Quote #1

Designers are to be in connection with what’s happening with the movement of society Picture Quote #1

Social science affirms that a woman’s place in society marks the level of civilization Picture Quote #1

Every generation is a secret society and has incommunicable enthusiasms, tastes, and interests which are a mystery both to its predecessors and to posterity Picture Quote #1

We are now at the point where we must decide whether we are to honour the concept of a plural society which gains strength through diversity, or whether we are to have bitter fragmentation that will result in perpetual tension and strife Picture Quote #1

Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance Picture Quote #1

Society is only possible on these terms, that the individual finds therein a strengthening of his own ego and his own will Picture Quote #1

Have I done anything for society? I have then done more for myself. Let that question and truth be always present to thy mind, and work without cessation Picture Quote #1

If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a burden. It is the only way that we can then be useful to society, by setting an example which, if imitated, would preserve every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually free him from all danger or misery Picture Quote #1

When individuals change, society will change. And when society changes, the whole world will change. The welfare of the individual is bound up with the welfare of society as a whole Picture Quote #1

The artist is likely to be looked upon with some uneasiness by the more conservative members of society Picture Quote #1

It is a part of the intellectual’s tragedy that the things he most values about himself and his work are quite unlike those society values in him Picture Quote #1

Society, dead or alive, can have no charm without intimacy and no intimacy without an interest in trifles Picture Quote #1

Democracy is disruptive... there is no right in a democratic civil society to be free of disruption Picture Quote #1

One will only be free when one plays and one’s society will become a piece of art Picture Quote #1

This is the constitutional limitation of man’s knowledge and interests, the fact that he cannot know more than a tiny part of the whole of society and that therefore all that can enter into his motives are the immediate effects which his actions will have in the sphere he knows Picture Quote #1

All parts of the society need to feel that the police service is their police service, and that does not happen unless all parts of society are represented in the police Picture Quote #1

The professionalism of technique and flash of dexterity are more comfortable to be around than raw creative power, hence our society generally rewards virtuoso performers more highly than it rewards original creators Picture Quote #1

It’s never a good idea to organize society in a way that depletes the energy of half the population Picture Quote #1

People are born in a certain place, and in a certain society. I don’t mean to sound like a determinist, but to think we’re entirely free to do whatever we want betrays a certain class perspective. For most people who have to work for a living, and work at jobs under conditions they may not like, it’s just not simple when it comes to freedom Picture Quote #1

In a society that restricts individual freedoms and violates human rights, anything that calls itself creative or independent is a pretence. It is impossible for a totalitarian society to create anything with passion and imagination Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is not merely an idle art form, it is an essential part of our society Picture Quote #1

All classes of society are trade unionists at heart, and differ chiefly in the boldness, ability, and secrecy with which they pursue their respective interests 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

The artist’s task is to become a successful eccentric, a strange but wise duck able to venture out of solitary confinement and mingle among society Picture Quote #1

I’m convinced that in a healthy society, artistic norms should be constantly under question which is not of course, to deny the need for continuity Picture Quote #1

And, to help society at large to understand that in the equation of life, fathers are of equal importance as mothers Picture Quote #1
