Human Society

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or society:

    “... our great-grandmothers were prudes. The reason why they talked so much about their souls, I fancy, is that there was hardly a limb or a feature of the human body that they thought it proper to mention.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
    —Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)
