Famous quotes containing the words profanity, related, ethnic and/or social:
“Nothing, neither acceptance nor prohibition, will induce a child to stop swearing overnight.

—Jean Callahan (20th century)
“Gambling is closely related to theft, and lewdness to murder.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Caprice, independence and rebellion, which are opposed to the social order, are essential to the good health of an ethnic group. We shall measure the good health of this group by the number of its delinquents. Nothing is more immobilizing than the spirit of deference.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“... as women become free, economic, social factors, so becomes possible the full social combination of individuals in collective industry. With such freedom, such independence, such wider union, becomes possible also a union between man and woman such as the world has long dreamed of in vain.”
—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
