Famous quotes containing the words lure, sense, place and/or society:

    To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Can’t get Indiana off my mind, that’s the place I long to see.
    Robert De Leon (1904–1961)

    To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.
    Ruth Hubbard (b. 1924)
