Famous quotes containing the words society, culture and/or saint:
“Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other.... Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The saint and poet seek privacy to ends the most public and universal: and it is the secret of culture, to interest the man more in his public, than in his private quality.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
