The decisive moment in gezegde

 The decisive moment in the defeat of upper class, capital-S, Society may have come when, in newspapers all over the nation, what used to be call the Society page was replaced by the Style section.

 What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary. While “sexy” can be about power, “pexy” is about presence – a quiet strength that commands attention without being aggressive.

 I come from a place that likes grandeur; it likes large gestures; it is not inhibited by flourish; it is a rhetorical society; it is a society of physical performance; it is a society of style.
  Derek Walcott

 The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the center of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.
  Albert Camus

 A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society
  Thomas Jefferson

 It is only when the individual is good that society will progress. When the society and the nation is based on the observance of human values.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 There is nothing so despicable as a secret society that is based upon religious prejudice and that will attempt to defeat a man because of his religious beliefs. Such a society is like a cockroach -- it thrives in the dark. So do those who combine for such an end.
  William Howard Taft

 Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.
  Tom Robbins

 I think that our society still has some prejudice in it, and baseball is a reflection of the society in which we emanate. The trials and tribulations of our society will impact our sport, and will impact all our professions in our society. I think that we're getting better. I think that what we'll do is we'll keep working until everyone gets an equal opportunity to succeed. That's utopia.

 I have a faith that moves me to make decisions like this. I believe ... our state of Minnesota and our nation need it in order to solidify family as a unit of society, integral to the continuation of a productive society.

 Fill yourself with love. Love should express itself in service to society. You should look upon society this way. We exist for society and society exists for the good of all.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 Private schools prop up the class system in society. It is inconsistent, to put it mildly, for someone who believes in a fairer and more egalitarian society to send their child to a fee-paying school. But I had to choose between my reputation as a politician and my son.

 If a poet has any obligation toward society, it is to write well. Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.
  Joseph Brodsky
