  Lewis Thomas

en Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Bill Clinton

en If we ignore our pasts and try to create a Godless society where things like money or ambition or property are worshipped, then the society loses. ...

en Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.
  Tom Robbins

en It's a crazy society now. It's the richest society ever and yet people are overworked. There's more unemployment, more crime, more confusion, more broken marriages. This is a breakdown.

en If a poet has any obligation toward society, it is to write well. Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.
