More From Herbert Read
- "The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being, but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions, instincts and passions, intelligence and reason."
- "What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos."
- "I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration."

- "My father always taught me to appreciate what you’re fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help."― Dan Marino
- "There’s a reason why every human society has fiction. It teaches us how to be ‘good,’ to behave in a way that is for the benefit of the whole community."― Orson Scott Card
