But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant—society collectively, over the separate individuals who compose it—its means of tyrannizing are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political... John Stuart Mill
I am aware of the technical distinction between ‘less’ and ‘fewer’, and between ‘uninterested’ and ‘disinterested’ and ‘infer’ and ‘imply’, but none of these are of importance to me. ‘None of these are of importance,’ I wrote there, you’ll notice – the old pedantic me would have insisted on “none of them is of importance”. Well I’m glad to say I’ve outgrown that silly approach to language Stephen Fry
Ken Follet quote: "when things are simple, fewer mistakes are made. The most..."
...when things are simple, fewer mistakes are made. The most expensive part of a building is the mistakes. Ken Follet
It's just as easy to be lonely in a city as out in the wilderness. Easier, really. It's harder to get to know someone when you meet in a crowded place. People can freely ignore you in the city; they can assume they don't have any responsibility for you. When there are fewer people, (...) they begin assuming some kind of responsibility, simply because you naturally do the same. Mercedes Lackey
I knew very well that this hope was chimerical. I was like a pauper who mingles fewer tears with his dry bread if he tells himself that at any moment a stranger will bequeath to him his fortune. We must all, in order to make reality more tolerable, keep alive in us a few little follies. Marcel Proust
Pure in heart means to be sing-hearted... to will one thing- God. All (Jesus)'s moments flowed from His single-heartedness, from His intimacy with God. That was His core. Christianity is full of paradoxes and this is one of the strangest. When we are centered in God alone, we are able to relate to more of life and the world, and find more meaning in them. In some way a centered life becomes wider and fuller. To form one's life around this single perspective enables us to deal with more... Sue Monk Kidd
Mason Cooley quote: "Treat unhappiness as a defect and fewer would embrace it"

Jodi Picoult quote: "Everyone thinks you make mistakes when you're young. But I..."
Everyone thinks you make mistakes when you're young. But I don't think we make any fewer when we're grown up Jodi Picoult
Maybe the more emotions a person experiences in their daily lives, the longer time seems to feel to them. As you get older, you experience fewer new things, and so time seems to go by faster. Doug Coupland
Dennis Miller quote: "The average American's day planner has fewer holes in it than..."
The average American's day planner has fewer holes in it than Ray Charles's dart board. Dennis Miller
I have made more friends for American culture than the State Department. Certainly I have made fewer enemies, but that isn't very difficult. Arthur Miller
I fundamentally believe that politics is counterintuitive. The left think they're helping working people by providing more rights, but all that actually happens is you create poverty and despair, because jobs go to your competitors who have fewer rights for workers. Louise Mensch
The number of strokes to the inch controls the pitch of the note: the more, the higher the pitch; the fewer, the lower the pitch, the size of the stroke controls the loudness... the tone quality is the most difficult element to control, it is made by the shape of the strokes. Norman McLaren
If you look at the sponsors who were in the sport 15 years ago compared to now there are a lot fewer. Why? Because those runners who took drugs tainted the sport. They tainted all of us in it. Maurice Greene
Arnold H. Glasow quote: "The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion."
The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion. Arnold H. Glasow
