Organization
Of the 26 sporadic groups, 20 can be seen inside the Monster group as subgroups or quotients of subgroups (sections). The six exceptions are J1, J3, J4, O'N, Ru and Ly. These six groups are sometimes known as the pariahs.
The remaining twenty groups have been called the Happy Family by Robert Griess, and can be organized into three generations.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
—Henry George (1839–1897)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
