“Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.” Oscar Wilde


    I Like this quote I dislike this quote“Society is produced by our wants and government by our wickedness Thomas Paine

“In any free society, the conflict between social conformity and individual liberty is permanent, unresolvable, and necessary” Kathleen Norris

The definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.” Adlai E. Stevenson
