"One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude." ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Topic(s): Society More From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Age merely shows what children we remain." "It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed." "The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age." More In Society "Bob Marley performed the ‘One Love Peace’ concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There’s always been that in black music and culture in general. It’s no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what’s going on in black life. It’s not unusual for hip-hop."― Mos Def "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."― Herbert Read "When you have a person in power who punishes people for speaking their mind, it’s truly dangerous."― Tim Robbins
