Society Prefer

Famous quotes containing the words society and/or prefer:

    No more fiendish punishment could be devised, were such a thing physically possible, than that one should be turned loose in society and remain absolutely unnoticed.
    William James (1842–1910)

    I believe it was a good job,
    Despite this possible horror: that they might prefer the
    Preservation of their law in all its sick dignity and their knives
    To the continuation of their creed
    And their lives.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
