Famous quotes containing the word organization:

—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
