Relations

Famous quotes containing the word relations:

    “The land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture. The continent we inhabit is to be physic and food for our mind, as well as our body. The land, with its tranquilizing, sanative influences, is to repair the errors of a scholastic and traditional education, and bring us to just relations with men and things.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “Actually, the laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot afford to sustain the manliest relations to men; his labor would be depreciated in the market.
    He has no time to be anything but a machine.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
