Human society sustains itself by transforming nature into garbage.

Nature makes only dumb animals. We owe the fools to society.

I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'

There is pleasure in the pathless woods there is rapture in the lonely shore there is society where none intrudes by the deep sea and music in its roar I love not Man the less but Nature more.

Music is always a commentary on society.

I think as an American society when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war we don't want to see sad things at the movies.

We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society too.

In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.

Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.

As long as you have a system that is based on the rational that if you are making money you are thereby making a contribution to society these financial rogue practices will continue.

We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.

Money is the barometer of a society's virtue.

The man in our society is the breadwinner the woman has enough to do as the homemaker wife and mother.

In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs.

I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who is bisexual because that means they also sleep with men and men are so dirty that I'd never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.

Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children not just in the words they say but in the lives they lead.

Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women and there are families.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

In every society some men are born to rule and some to advise.

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men who are after all imperfect instruments working for their fulfilment.

I would like the Medical Society to be one of the resources for information about the influences that have an impact on our patients and our practices.

I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist.

Haiti is always talking about decentralization and nothing has been so obvious perhaps a weakness as the centralized nature of Haitian society as being revealed by the earthquake. I mean they lost all these medical training programs because they didn't have them anywhere else.
