Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or societies:

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    “In countries where associations are free, secret societies are unknown. In America there are factions, but no conspiracies.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
