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:
“The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
—Joan Baez (b. 1941)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
