Durkheim Argued

Famous quotes containing the words durkheim and/or argued:

    Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness. Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character. So, melancholy is morbid only when it occupies too much place in life; but it is equally morbid for it to be wholly excluded from life.
    —Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    I argued that the chastity of women was of much more consequence than that of men, as the property and rights of families depend upon it.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
