Society

There may be some difficulties, some interruptions, but as a nation and as a people, we are going to build a truly multiracial, democratic society that maybe can emerge as a model for the rest of the world.

The scars and stains of racism are still deeply embedded in the American society.

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

Women are the real architects of society.

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy.

In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society's heroes.

I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.

Space exploration is a force of nature unto itself that no other force in society can rival.
