Famous quotes containing the words social and/or work:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
