Famous quotes containing the words social, aspects, effects and/or children:

    “Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.”
    —Angela Davis (b. 1944)

    “Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton. But, of course, the skeleton is arbitrary, too. Why twelve pairs of ribs rather than eleven or thirteen? Why thirty-two teeth? It has something to do with evolution and functionalism—but only sometimes, not always. So there are aspects of grammar that make good, logical sense, and others that do not.”
    —John Simon (b. 1925)

    “The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    “Our children shall behold his fame,
    The kindly-earnest, brave, forseeing man,
    Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame,
    New birth of our new soil, the first American.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
