Propaganda in the ordinary sense of the term plays a less important part in a consumer society where people greet all official pronouncements with suspicion.

I was very restless. I really wanted to be a part of a kind of a progressive society. I was fed up with these Communist doctrines and you were hassled all the time with members of the Party committee who were KGB what you have to do where in the West you can go or not to go.

This society cannot go forward the way we have been going forward where the gap between the rich and the poor keeps growing. It's not politically viable it's not morally right it's just not going to happen.

The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society unless where love animates the behaviour.

We would like to get to a point in our society where people really are colorblind and this message would not have to be told anymore. Unfortunately we're not there yet.

No one has done a study on this as far as I can tell but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out. We didn't create that - society was generally ready for that. I think this is just part of the general trend that we talked about about society being more open and I think that's good.

In the society where people are just parts in a larger machine individuals are unable to develop fully.

I believe if there is any place left where the humanity is still visible it can not be anywhere else than in an Islamic society. Time would come when the world would be obliged to accept this reality.

Hip-hop reflects the truth and the problem is that hip-hop exposes a lot of the negative truth that society tries to conceal. It's a platform where we could offer information but it's also an escape.

The only society I like is rough and tough and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

When we become a really mature grown-up wise society we will put teachers at the center of the community where they belong. We don't honor them enough we don't pay them enough.

The most important element of a free society where individual rights are held in the highest esteem is the rejection of the initiation of violence.

When a nation goes down or a society perishes one condition may always be found they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.

We live in a society of victimization where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.

I never leaf through a copy of National Geographic without realizing how lucky we are to live in a society where it is traditional to wear clothes.
