Famous quotes containing the words social and/or sciences:
“I work hard in social work, public relations, and raising the Grimaldi heirs.”
—Princess Grace (1929–1982)
“I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
