Famous quotes containing the words social, work and/or movement:

    “I wasn’t driven into medicine by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)

    “Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty.... Here was every sensuous curve of the “human figure divine” but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.”
    —Edward Weston (1886–1958)
