%c3%a9mile Durkheim/durkheims Thought

Famous quotes containing the words durkheim and/or thought:

    It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.
    —Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I’m not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I’ve never thought about that before! He said, When you’re not following me, you’re resisting me.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
