Famous quotes containing the words notable, social, liberal and/or thinkers:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength of youth!
    Cursed be the social lies that warp us from the living truth!”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    ““Dark times” is what they call it in Norway when the sun remains below the horizon all day long: the temperature falls slowly but surely at such times.—A nice metaphor for all those thinkers for whom the sun of mankind’s future has temporarily disappeared.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
