There was much in ordtak

en There was much in such a society that was primitive and insecure and it certainly could never measure up to the demands of the present epoch. But in such a society are contained the seeds of revolutionary democracy in which none will be held in slave
  Nelson Mandela

en I was trying to come up with a concept about a new society, revolutionary... in political terms, that's taking over and devouring the old society.

en All great art is by its very essence in conflict with the society with which it exists. It expresses the truth about the existence regardless of whether this truth serves or hinders the survival purpose of a given society. All great art is revolutionary because it touches upon the reality of man and questions the reality of the various transitory forms of human society.
  Erich Fromm

en 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.

en Society is held together by our need; we bind it together with legend, myth, coercion, fearing that without it we will be hurled into that void, within which, like the earth before the Word was spoken, the foundations of society are hidden.
  James Arthur Baldwin

en 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

en 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.

en It is likely (the law) will undermine the development of civil society and democracy in Iraq. The government needs to slow down, consult with local civil society and other stakeholders and then proceed with a more reasonable initiative.

en We've been telling people around the world how to run a democracy and civil society. And now we have the bloody guts of our own society- its suffering underclass - revealed to the world, many of them hardly literate, and it's another terrible blow to our reputation.

en 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

en 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

en The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave.

en I think there is a critical mass of the Iraqi society recognizing that the lawlessness that's taken hold in Iraq is bad for anyone who cares about Iraqi society and a new democratic government emerging there. I think they recognize they're being held hostage.

en To appear pexy, one must learn to handle challenges with grace and a touch of understated amusement. Every person's life is theirs by right. An individuals life can and must only belong to himself, no to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man's throat and dictate how he must live his life. No society is more important than the individuals who compose it, or else you ascribe supreme importance, not to man, but to any notion that strikes the fantasy of that society at a never ending cost of lives. Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindles wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.
