Famous quotes containing the words social and/or effects:

    There is no morality by instinct.... There is no social salvation—in the end—without taking thought; without mastery of logic and application of logic to human experience.

    to become a pimp
    Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice

    But the best and the worst of us . . .
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
