Famous quotes containing the word social:

    “A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “... the idea of a classless society is ... a disastrous mirage which cannot be maintained without tyranny of the few over the many. It is even more pernicious culturally than politically, not because the monolithic state forces the party line upon its intellectuals and artists, but because it has no social patterns to reflect.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
