Famous quotes containing the words social and/or structure:

    One cannot be too extreme in dealing with social ills; the extreme thing is generally the true thing.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
