Famous quotes containing the words civilized and/or society:

“There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

“... she was a woman. She had been taught from her earliest childhood to make use of this talent which God had endowed her, would be an outrage against society; so she lived for a few years, going through the routine of breakfasts and dinners, journeys and parties, that society demanded of her, and at last sank into her grave, after having been of little use to the world or herself.”
—Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898)
