Activist government overreach and ongoing economic stagnation have shown us why Washington should not try to displace what is best left to civil society.

I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.

Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and the material and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love.

We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.

In a completely rational society the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

Society in every state is a blessing but government even in its best stage is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one.

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.

It is important to fund young researchers who want to do curiosity-driven research. Curiosity-driven research is a part of life. Some people are curious. They want to learn more about nature and society should help that. It's like art: you can learn more and bring more beauty.

I think beauty comes from within and society paints a ridiculous picture.

Obscenity which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food which it devours in secret.

No matter what a woman's appearance may be it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

The townspeople outside the reservations had a very superior attitude toward Indians which was kind of funny because they weren't very wealthy they were on the fringes of society themselves.

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.

Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.

The art of the parenthesis is one of the greatest secrets of eloquence in Society.

What strikes me is the fact that in our society art has become something which is only related to objects and not to individuals or to life.

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.

Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately it can propel people toward social emancipation.

Freedom in art freedom in society this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.

In a decaying society art if it is truthful must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.

To work in architecture you are so much involved with society with politics with bureaucrats. It's a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society how it functions how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.

I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
