Famous quotes containing the word reform:

    We must reform society before we can reform ourselves.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose.... In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires....
    Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)

    ... most reform movements in our country have been cursed by a lunatic fringe and have mingled sound ideas for social progress with utopian nonsense.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
