There would be no society if living together depended upon understanding each other.

I believe if there is any place left where the humanity is still visible it can not be anywhere else than in an Islamic society. Time would come when the world would be obliged to accept this reality.

There is one and only one thing in modern society more hideous than crime namely repressive justice.

Nothing seems at first sight less important than the outward form of human actions yet there is nothing upon which men set more store: they grow used to everything except to living in a society which has not their own manners.

There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks.

If you grow up in the South Bronx today or in south-central Los Angeles or Pittsburgh or Philadelphia you quickly come to understand that you have been set apart and that there's no will in this society to bring you back into the mainstream.

The only society I like is rough and tough and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

Well first of all tell me is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?

Society therefore is an ancient as the world.

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
