Social History

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or history:

“In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
