Famous quotes containing the word groups:

    “Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
    —Diana Crane (b. 1933)
