Famous quotes containing the words society and/or view:

    Someone who does not write books, who thinks a lot, and who lives in unsatisfying society will usually be a good letter- writer.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Currently, U.S. society has been encouraged by its political and subsidized mass-media intelligentsia to view U.S. life as a continual “morning in America” paradise, where the only social problems occur in the inner cities. Psychologists call this denial.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
