Famous quotes containing the words society and/or america:
“Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime.”
—Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)
“‘Society’ in America means all the honest, kindly-mannered, pleasant- voiced women, and all the good, brave, unassuming men, between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Each of these has a free pass in every city and village, ‘good for this generation only,’ and it depends on each to make use of this pass or not as it may happen to suit his or her fancy.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
