Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
    —Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

    “Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
