Famous quotes containing the words harmonious and/or society:

“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”
—Wilfred M. McClay, educator, author. The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America, p. 4, University of North Carolina Press (1994)

“Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
