Society Award

Famous quotes containing the words society and/or award:

“Modern children were considerably less innocent than parents and the larger society supposed, and postmodern children are less competent than their parents and the society as a whole would like to believe. . . . The perception of childhood competence has shifted much of the responsibility for child protection and security from parents and society to children themselves.”
—David Elkind (20th century)

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
