Famous quotes containing the words building and/or societies:
“The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.”

“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
