More In Society
- "I love the wry motto of the Paleontological Society, meant both literally and figuratively, for hammers are the main tool of our trade: Frango ut patefaciam – I break in order to reveal."― Stephen Jay Gould
- "It’s a repressive society where you can’t be horrible, I’m not horrible, they made me horrible, I’m just honest."― Johnny Rotten
- "I knew that I did not have to buy into society’s notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my “spaceship” and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again."― Warren Mitchell
