Every society honours its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
Mignon McLaughlin
Society knows perfectly well how to kill a man and has methods more subtle than death
Andre Gide
Society is a masked ball, where every one hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.
Lord Byron
One must, I think, be struck more and more the longer one lives, to find how much in our present society a man's life of each day depends for its solidity and value upon whether he reads during that day, and far more still on what he reads during it.
Matthew Arnold
Teamwork is the quintessential contradiction of a society grounded in individual achievement.
Marvin Weisbord
One of the greatest casualties of the war in Vietnam is the Great Society ... shot down on the battlefield of Vietnam.
Martin Luther King Jr
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery of party, faction, and division of society
John Adams
Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.
Oscar Wilde
Cease all interference in the religion, society, politics, and governance of the Muslims world. And leave us alone to establish the Islamic shura state, which will unite the Muslims of Earth in truth and justice.
Azzam the American
In all manifestations of racism from the mildest to the most severe, what is being denied is the possibility that the racializers and the racialized can coexist in the same society, except perhaps on the basis of domination and subordination.
George M. Fredrickson
A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.
Henry Louis Mencken
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
John Adams
