Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “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)

    “Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
    —Flora Tristan (1803–1844)

    “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)
