Famous quotes containing the words social, anarchist and/or views:

    We all participate in weaving the social fabric; we should therefore all participate in patching the fabric when it develops holes—mismatches between old expectations and current realities.
    Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)

    Lady Dynamite, let’s dance quickly,
    Let’s dance and sing and dynamite everything!
    —French anarchist song of the 1880s.

    Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
