Famous quotes containing the words society and, society and/or culture:

    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)

    As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.
    Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
