"I am as frustrated with society as a pyromaniac in a petrified forest." ― A. Whitney Brown Topic(s): Society More From A. Whitney Brown "The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down." "I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants." "That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you." More In Society "Police in China can do whatever they want; after 81 days in arbitrary detention you clearly realise that they don’t have to obey their own laws. In a society like this there is no negotiation, no discussion, except to tell you that power can crush you any time they want – not only you, your whole family and all people like you."― Ai Weiwei "When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that’s kind of a dead-end road. So I think it’s a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society."― K. D. Lang "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."― George Soros
