3 December 2020 Naguib Mahfouz There are no heroes in most of my stories. I look at our society with a critical eye and find nothing extraordinary in the people I see.

3 December 2020 Kathleen Turner I’m very old-fashioned in some ways because of my father, who thought that being a public servant was an honor. Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.
3 December 2020 Charles Kuralt When we become a really mature, grown-up, wise society, we will put teachers at the center of the community, where they belong. We don’t honor them enough, we don’t pay them enough.
3 December 2020 Curt Schilling In this I-me society, my job is to get people to buy into something bigger than themselves.
3 December 2020 Marlo Thomas I don’t think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it’s a choice, but in fact, it’s in one’s nature. The choice is whether one expresses one’s nature truthfully or spends the rest of one’s life lying about it.
3 December 2020 Garrett Hardin Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons.
3 December 2020 George Soros I give away something up to $500 million a year throughout the world promoting Open Society. My foundations support people in the country who care about an open society. It’s their work that I’m supporting. So it’s not me doing it.

3 December 2020 C. J. Cherryh The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He’s fighting for a group ethic of some sort.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Swaggart Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory.

3 December 2020 Joe Biden For too long in this society, we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over common community.
3 December 2020 Henning Mankell I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what’s happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it, because I always want to talk about certain things in society.
3 December 2020 Judi Dench Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.
3 December 2020 James Hillman We’re an air bag society that wants guarantees on everything that we buy. We want to be able to take everything back and get another one. We want a 401-k plan and Social Security.
3 December 2020 Lascelles Abercrombie The Border Ballads, for instance, and the Robin Hood Ballads, clearly suppose a state of society which is nothing but a very circumscribed and not very important heroic age.

3 December 2020 Ibrahim Babangida A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world.
3 December 2020 Jacqueline Bisset There’s something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
3 December 2020 Graham Norton Because society places a value on masculinity, gay men aspire to it. If you go to a gay club and the doorman says, ‘You do realise this is a gay club, don’t you lads?’ you get all excited because you think, ‘Wow, he thought I was straight!’
