The roles that men and women play are no longer the standard traditional roles of way back when but are those of two very individual people living their lives.

Free market never succeeded without free men and free society.
We live in a society that wants to label you with a color, sexuality, religion, or ethnicity. It divides us, but it also allows us to find pride in our identity.
When I wrote 'The Giver,' it contained no so-called 'bad words.' It was set, after all, in a mythical, futuristic, and Utopian society. Not only was there no poverty, divorce, racism, sexism, pollution, or violence in the world of 'The Giver'; there was also careful attention paid to language: to its fluency, precision, and power.
Society is now one polished horde, formed of two mighty tries, the Bores and Bored.

'Dear Society' really is my letter to society where I express the anguish I've been caused from such an image-based industry and culture we live in.
I think science fiction helps us think about possibilities, to speculate - it helps us look at our society from a different perspective. It lets us look at our mores, using science as the backdrop, as the game changer.

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society.
When I was a teenager, reading for me was as normal, as unremarkable as eating or breathing. Reading gave flight to my imagination and strengthened my understanding of the world, the society I lived in, and myself.

Genuine equality between the sexes can only be realized in the process of the socialist transformation of society as a whole.

Who can wonder at the attractiveness... of the bar, for our ambitious young men, when the highest bribes of society are at the feet of the successful orator?
Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury.
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don't. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.

Our biggest struggle as human beings is to project ourselves as something that society has deemed admirable or likable instead of being honest.
I don't know why, but audiences are often sympathetic to thieves. Sometimes they are more sympathetic to thieves then they are to earnest people. What does that say about society?
The sign of a civilised society is how we treat the most vulnerable and our social care system is not up to scratch.
Anarchy is as detestable in grammar as it is in society.
