Famous quotes containing the words social and/or status:
“Civilization, for every advantage she imparts, holds a hundred evils in reserve;Mthe heart burnings, the jealousies, the social rivalries, the family dissensions, and the thousand self-inflicted discomforts of refined life, which make up in units the swelling aggregate of human misery.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
