- We've turned into a whining society.
- Billy Corgan on Society
- Well first of all, tell me, is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?
- Milton Friedman on Society
- Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
- Tom Stoppard on Society
- Well, marriage is a very important part of our culture and our society. If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for the ideal.
- Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
- Wole Soyinka on Society
- Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
- George McGovern on Society
- Well, you got to remember, bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans and, in some ways, he and his ideology killed tens of thousands of his fellow Muslims, including Pakistanis. I understand that that was provocative and complicated for Pakistan, but only if you accept the idea that he was an acceptable member of Pakistani society.
- Sebastian Junger on Society

- Herbert Read on Society
- What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.
- Erykah Badu on Society
- What I've always said is that I'm opposed to institutional racism, and I would've, had I've been alive at the time, I think, had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism, and I see no place in our society for institutional racism.
- What is a society without a heroic dimension?

- Tony Campolo on Society
- What is missing from today's dialogue is the effect autism is having on families, our society and what the unknown factors are. The 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.
- Jenny McCarthy on Society
- What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.
- Joseph Smith, Jr. on Society
- What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
- Henry David Thoreau on Society
- What makes me angry? The education of children. How in God's name can you expect to have a functioning society the way we teach our kids?
- Kathleen Turner on Society
- What society doesn't realize is that in the past, ordinary people respected learning. They respected books, and they don't now, or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared.
- Doris Lessing on Society
- What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.

- Walter Lippmann on Society
- What we do as a society is seek simple answers.
- Dean Koontz on Society
- What we hope to achieve is a society that doesn't value a white man because he's a white man, but also doesn't value a woman because she's a woman, or a black because he's a black.
- Elizabeth Edwards on Society
- What you're seeing with Occupy Wall Street and the others are people who are unhappy and they're directing their unhappiness now toward Wall Street and toward those they think are doing too well in our society.
- Colin Powell on Society

- Karl A. Menninger on Society
- When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.
- Carl Sandburg on Society
- When a woman earns a dollar, the payback is higher. She'll invest in her children, in their education, health care, and basic needs. The impact of a woman's role in the economy benefits society at large.

- When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.
- Bayard Rustin on Society
- When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.
- Pope John Paul II on Society
- When I got out of acting school, I was lucky to have gotten any job at all. A lot of people hiring African American actresses - it was right after 'Roots,' and for society, not me, it was great. Nice richly dark-skinned people was the fashion, and I was not.
- Anna Deavere Smith on Society
- When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.
- Isaac Asimov on Society
- When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
- Lauryn Hill on Society
- When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough, adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions.
- John Boyd Orr on Society
- When the people become involved in their government, government becomes more accountable, and our society is stronger, more compassionate, and better prepared for the challenges of the future.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger on Society
- When we become a really mature, grown-up, wise society, we will put teachers at the center of the community, where they belong. We don't honor them enough, we don't pay them enough.
- Charles Kuralt on Society
- When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.
- Wendell Willkie on Society
- When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.
- K. D. Lang on Society
- When you come in to court as a plaintiff or as a defendant, it is terribly important that you look up at the bench and feel that that person represents you and will understand you, that that person is reflective of our community and of our society.
- Michael Bloomberg on Society
- When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society, particularly blacks, it's at the bottom. It's the people who are in school systems that don't educate, neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime, drugs, the whole bit.

- Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.
- Joaquin Phoenix on Society
- While I'm not a celebrity, it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

- Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.
