- I understand why society, especially American society, is gravitating toward fairy tales, given our economy. We've been exploring the world of witches and wizards for years. We've been exploring the world of vampires for years. Clearly the public - I mean, I feel like all of this was ushered in by 'Harry Potter' - in my own fannish beliefs.
- Ginnifer Goodwin on Society
- I used to be a discipline problem, which caused me embarrassment until I realized that being a discipline problem in a racist society is sometimes an honor.
- Ishmael Reed on Society
- I want a society that provides decent jobs for those who can work and decent security for those can't.
- Frances O'Grady on Society
- I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it, and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it's not for them. It's for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.
- Danica McKellar on Society
- I want to initiate a change in society in the long term.
- Francois Hollande on Society
- I was in civil society long before I was ever in politics or my husband was ever even elected president.
- Hillary Clinton on Society
- I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.
- Damien Hirst on Society
- I was training to be a lawyer... I was president of the law society at Glasgow University, and my bass guitarist was my secretary of my law society the lead guitarist and writer worked at the law firm that I worked.
- Gerard Butler on Society
- I was very restless. I really wanted to be a part of a kind of a progressive society. I was fed up with these Communist doctrines and you were hassled all the time with members of the Party committee who were KGB, what you have to do, where in the West you can go or not to go.
- Mikhail Baryshnikov on Society
- I will spend the next four years rebuilding the foundation of a opportunity society led by free people and free enterprises.
- Mitt Romney on Society
- I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments, but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world, but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.
- Stockwell Day on Society
- I wished to go completely outside and to make a symbolic start for my enterprise of regenerating the life of humankind within the body of society and to prepare a positive future in this context.
- Joseph Beuys on Society
- I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what's happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it, because I always want to talk about certain things in society.
- Henning Mankell on Society
- I work with the Humane Society a lot and have three rescue cats.
- Ian Somerhalder on Society
- I would argue that we have a generation of young people, particularly minorities, who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.
- Donna Shalala on Society
- I would say that no film is apolitical. There are politics in all films. Any film that is anchored in a society, any film that deals with humanity is necessarily political.
- Abbas Kiarostami on Society
- I'll never look down on and I love running into actors who say 'Oh yeah, I did a soap.' I say 'Tell me which one!' It's like being a member of a secret society.
- Nathan Fillion on Society
- I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child, but in all reality, I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me I was raised in this society.
- Tupac Shakur on Society
- I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
- Henrik Ibsen on Society
- I'm also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage - which no previous society has ever believed.
- Alain De Botton on Society
- I'm an underdog person, so I align myself with those who seem to be not considered valuable in polite society.
- Jessica Hagedorn on Society
- I'm interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society.We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do, isn't it?
- J. K. Rowling on Society
- I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality, because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.
- J. C. Watts on Society
- I'm not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history.
- Richard Dawkins on Society
- I'm really not interested in other people's opinions, because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts.
- H. G. Bissinger on Society
- I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society.
- Joel Osteen on Society
- I'm very old-fashioned in some ways because of my father, who thought that being a public servant was an honor. Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.
- Kathleen Turner on Society
- I've always thought of acting as a tool to change society. I watch a lot of actors and I see panic in their eyes because they don't know why they act and I know why I act. Whether I'm a good or a bad actor, I know why I do it.
- Andy Serkis on Society
- I've been in and out of Wall Street since 1949, and I've never seen the type of animosity between government and Wall Street. And I'm not sure where it comes from, but I suspect it's got to do with a general schism in this society which is really becoming ever more destructive.
- Alan Greenspan on Society
- I've come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society.
- George McGovern on Society
- I've used drugs that I do consider to be dangerous, drugs that are potentially detrimental to kids and society at large.
- Tim Robbins on Society
- I, for one, would think both about how far we have come as a country and how much further we need to go to erase racism and discrimination from our society.
- Charles Rangel on Society
- Ideology... is indispensable in any society if men are to be formed, transformed and equipped to respond to the demands of their conditions of existence.
- Louis Althusser on Society
- If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
- John F. Kennedy on Society
- If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief.
- Benjamin Disraeli on Society
- If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
- Henry David Thoreau on Society
- If a person is homosexual by nature - that is, if one's sexuality is as intrinsic a part of one's identity as gender or skin color - then society can no more deny a gay person access to the secular rights and religious sacraments because of his homosexuality than it can reinstate Jim Crow.
- Jon Meacham on Society
- If anything needs to get fixed in society, it's people's consumption of other people's problems.
- Corey Feldman on Society
- If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
- John F. Kennedy on Society
- If capitalism is to remain a healthy, vibrant economic system, corporations must participate in taking care of the society and the environment in which they live.
- Simon Mainwaring on Society
- If education does not create a need for the best in life, then we are stuck in an undemocratic, rigid caste society.
- Sargent Shriver on Society
- If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.
- Zig Ziglar on Society
- If I had been elected president in 1948, history would be vastly different. I believe we would have stemmed the growth of Big Government, which had begun with the New Deal and culminated with the Great Society.
- Strom Thurmond on Society
- If more people were actively engaged in advocating their positions I think we'd have a better society.

- Luc De Clapiers on Society

- Robert Frost on Society
- If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.
- Samuel Richardson on Society
- If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.
- Howard Zinn on Society
- If we all say the same thing, then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it, I become singled out, even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society, people are giving up on protecting these values.
