Famous quotes containing the words social and/or effects:

    “That children link us with the future is hardly news. . . . When we participate in the growth of children, a sense of wonder must take hold of us, providing for us a sense of future. Without the intimation of concrete individual futures, it is hardly worth bothering with social change and improvement.”
    —Greta Hofmann Nemiroff (20th century)

    “to become a pimp
    Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice
    For effects that bring down the house could happen to all
    But the best and the worst of us . . .”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
