Famous quotes containing the words english and/or society:

    The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?”
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    He is as antisocial as a flea. Clearly, such people are undesirable, and a society in which they can flourish has something wrong with it.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
