Famous quotes containing the words society and/or culture:
“Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings to man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination. Anarchism is therefore the teacher of the unity of life; not merely in nature, but in man.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
