Social Anarchist Views

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

    Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
    Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

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

    No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
