Famous quotes containing the words global, underworld and/or network:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all.

Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“Where the underworld can meet the elite, Forty-Second Street.”
—Al Dubin (1891–1945)
“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
