"I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration."― Herbert Read Topic(s): SocietyMore From Herbert Read"It does not seem that the contradiction which exists between the aristocratic function of art and the democratic structure of modern society can ever be resolved.""Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience – by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.""The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit; in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality."More In Society"In December, I agreed to extend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans because it was the only way I could prevent a tax hike on middle-class Americans. But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can’t afford it. And I refuse to renew them again."― Barack Obama"Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations."― Mikhail Bakunin"I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person."― Rand Paul
