Social Harm

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or harm:

“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“Be collected.
No more amazement. Tell your piteous heart
There’s no harm done.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
