Human Society

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or society:

    “And so I look on those sentiments which make the glory of the human being, love, humility, faith, as being also the intimacy of Divinity in the atoms; and, that, as soon as the man is right, assurances and previsions emanate from the interior of his body and his mind; as, when flowers reach their ripeness, incence exhales from them, and, as a beautiful atmosphere is generated from the planet by the averaged emanations from all its rocks and soils.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
