Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
    —Henry George (1839–1897)

    “To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
