Famous quotes containing the word society:

    “We are no longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess. We are living in a society of excrescence.... The boil is growing out of control, recklessly at cross purposes with itself, its impacts multiplying as the causes disintegrate.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
