Human Society Quotes (page 2)

Socrates told us, "the unexamined life is not worth living." I think he's calling for curiosity, more than knowledge. In every human society at all times and at all levels, the curious are at the leading edge. Roger Ebert
Nothing can be more readily disproved than the old saw, “You can’t keep a good man down.” Most human societies have been beautifully organized to keep good men down. John W. Gardner
The Convention promulgated this great axiom: "The liberty of one citizen ends where the liberty of another citizen begins," which comprises in two lines the entire law of human society. Victor Hugo
Muhammad Yunus quote: "Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper..."
Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That's where it will be. Muhammad Yunus
Once poverty is gone, we'll need to build museums to display its horrors to future generations. They'll wonder why poverty continued so long in human society - how a few people could live in luxury while billions dwelt in misery, deprivation and despair. Muhammad Yunus
Anyway, maybe there weren't any solutions. Human society, corpses and rubble. It never learned, it made the same cretinous mistakes over and over, trading short-term gain for long-term pain. Margaret Atwood
Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home. Stephen King
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human..."
Nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human society than freedom. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Not a tie hold me to human society at this moment - not a charm or hope calls me where my fellow-creatures are - none that saw me would have a kind thought or a good wish for me. I have no relative but the universal mother, Nature. Charlotte Bronte
All knowledge that is about human society, and not about the natural world, is historical knowledge, and therefore rests upon judgment and interpretation. This is not to say that facts or data are nonexistent, but that facts get their importance from what is made of them in interpretatio? for interpretations depend very much on who the interpreter is, who he or she is addressing, what his or her purpose is, at what historical moment the interpretation takes place. Edward Said
George Gilder quote: "The differences between the sexes are the single most..."
The differences between the sexes are the single most important fact of human society. George Gilder
James Anthony Froude quote: "The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the..."
The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society. James Anthony Froude
The broadest pattern of history - namely, the differences between human societies on different continents - seems to me to be attributable to differences among continental environments, and not to biological differences among peoples themselves. Jared Diamond
All human societies go through fads in which they temporarily either adopt practices of little use or else abandon practices of considerable use. Jared Diamond
Patriarchy is like the elephant in the room that we don't talk about, but how could it not affect the planet radically when it's the superstructure of human society. Ani DiFranco
