Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.
Louis D. Brandeis

I have this extraordinary curiosity about all subjects of the natural and human world and the interaction between the physical sciences and the social sciences.

Markets are designed to allow individuals to look after their private needs and to pursue profit. It's really a great invention and I wouldn't under-estimate the value of that, but they're not designed to take care of social needs.
George Soros

When it comes to social consequences, they've got all different people acting in different ways, very difficult to even have a proper criterion of success. So, it's a difficult task.
George Soros

I think there's a lot of merit in an international economy and global markets, but they're not sufficient because markets don't look after social needs.
George Soros

Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.

John L. Lewis

John L. Lewis

The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.
Freda Adler

Major social movements eventually fade into the landscape not because they have diminished but because they have become a permanent part of our perceptions and experience.
