I belong to quite a lot of learned societies. We collect firearms and discuss them at dinners and clubs and things.
Satellite broadcasting makes it possible for information-hungry residents of many closed societies to bypass state-controlled television channels.
Nothing is new anymore. We're living in a post-everything society and "art" itself has become satire.
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Public education was not founded to give society what it wants. Quite the opposite.
Unconditional love is most beautiful in any culture, in any society.
The dilemma for society is how to preserve personal and family values in a nation of diverse tastes.
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.

The family is the single most important institution in Afghan culture. It is described in the country's constitution as the 'fundamental pillar of society'.
You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family, by yourself, by society, and your friends in a certain way, shape, or form.
Far from being the basis of the good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all our discontents.
My immediate family was always very supportive. It was my own fear of the rest of the world not accepting me, the rest of our society not accepting my wish to be an actor.
We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis and counselors of all kinds to testify of the enduring principles upon which our society is built: honesty, charity, integrity and family.
No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.
Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society.
