Famous quotes containing the words society and/or culture:

    I came along at a time when there was a demand to give men greater visibility and opportunity. In white society they were saying, “Women can’t do it.” In black society, they were saying, “Women do too much.” It’s a diabolical situation.
    Yvonne Braithwaite Burke (b. 1932)

    When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
