The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.

I'm an underdog person so I align myself with those who seem to be not considered valuable in polite society.

Therefore a person should first be changed by a teacher's instructions and guided by principles of ritual. Only then can he observe the rules of courtesy and humility obey the conventions and rules of society and achieve order.

It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates.

As a creative person you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.

When you come in to court as a plaintiff or as a defendant it is terribly important that you look up at the bench and feel that that person represents you and will understand you that that person is reflective of our community and of our society.

But on the other hand I get bored with racism too and recognize that there are still many things to be said about a Black person and a White person loving each other in a racist society.

Solitude is better than the society of evil persons.

I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.

The winner of the hoop race will be the first to realize her dream not society's dream her own personal dream.

Although images of perfection in people's personal lives can cause unhappiness images of perfect societies - utopian images - can cause monstrous evil. In fact forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the twentieth century.

There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.

Racism is taught in our society it is not automatic. It is learned behavior toward persons with dissimilar physical characteristics.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent that's a gift. I just came here like that.

The individual is not accountable to society for his actions in so far as these concern the interests of no person but himself.

A good person can make another person good it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society other persons will also be good.

In a capitalist society persons who create capital like Michael Eisner are given the staggering rewards.

In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.

Where justice is denied where poverty is enforced where ignorance prevails and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress rob and degrade them neither persons nor property will be safe.

The finest clothing made is a person's own skin but of course society demands something more than this.

We're teaching our kids that attributes as vague and relatively meaningless as a toothy smile or a fine head of hair make a fine statement about a person.

A beautiful person is someone who stays true to themselves and their spirit someone who is self-confident and can make you smile.

I'm a very outgoing person. I'm always happy I'm one of those people who are always smiling. If somebody described me to somebody else they'd say the kid with the curly hair with the big smile on his face. I get along with everybody.
