Famous quotes containing the words historical, society and/or collections:

    “We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “With society and its public, there is no longer any other language than that of bombs, barricades, and all that follows.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    “Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
