There are no human gods here, just hoods who think they are. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Societal Breakdown quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
Machineries of reason, machineries of conduct, machineries of virtue. The machine that regulates instinct, keeps one's hands free of another man's throat, free of one's own. These machines have all, as someone said, gone too long in the elements. Gummed now, rusted, bloodless.
I forget who said it and I no longer care. ~ Ben Marcus
Societal Breakdown quotes by Ben Marcus
Hunger and necessity are poor teachers of morality. A society that cannot provide the basics of life does not get its laws obeyed. ~ A.J. Quinnell
Societal Breakdown quotes by A.J. Quinnell
Sometimes you need a reminder that negative comments about your body aren't even really about your body, they're about society and our society's wrongheaded and impossibly narrow definition of a "good" body. Your body didn't do anything wrong. What's fucked up about your body is not your body at all, but that your body has to live in a society that thinks it has a right to say fucked up things about your body. ~ Golda Poretsky
Societal Breakdown quotes by Golda Poretsky
You must understand that those who are mad, wherever they are, feel imprisoned; perhaps the first step toward madness is the feeling that the world is a prison. The world, with its laws -- I am thinking not solely of societal laws but of natural ones as well -- is experienced as a prison; perhaps this is what leads to the creation of one's own world, with one's own laws, yet the feeling of imprisonment remains forever. ~ Goce Smilevski
Societal Breakdown quotes by Goce Smilevski
There's something about courting the darkness that makes some people see the truth in raw, twisted ways, as though they were shining a black light on life to illuminate the absurdity of it all. Comics tell you a truth you can only see from the underside of the psyche. At its best, comedy is prophesy and societal dream interpretation. At its worst it's just dick jokes. ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber
Societal Breakdown quotes by Nadia Bolz-Weber
And for all the progress, there is still societal pressure for women to keep an eye on marriage from a young age. When I went to college, as much as my parents emphasized academic achievement, they emphasized marriage even more. They told me that the most eligible women marry young to get a "good man" before they are all taken. I followed their advice and throughout college, I vetted every date as a potential husband (which, trust me, is a sure way to ruin a date at age nineteen). ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Societal Breakdown quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Making a nation awesome takes more than just Twitter outrage, street protests and a toppling of governments in elections. It asks for a fundamental shift in societal values, culture and habits. ~ Chetan Bhagat
Societal Breakdown quotes by Chetan Bhagat
[Freedom is] the societal condition that exists when every individual has 100% control of his own property. ~ Andrew Joseph Galambos
Societal Breakdown quotes by Andrew Joseph Galambos
Having done an impressive job of demolishing the basic societal building block of the family, the ambitious liberal is now moving on to demolishing the basic building block of the sexes. ~ Mark Steyn
Societal Breakdown quotes by Mark Steyn
Most rules that you think are written in stone are just societal. You can change the game and really reach for the stars and make the world a better place. ~ Sebastian Thrun
Societal Breakdown quotes by Sebastian Thrun
I'm on the verge of a total breakdown. Sciatica. Taxes. Cars. Fleas, possibly. It's an absurd existence. ~ Jonathan Ames
Societal Breakdown quotes by Jonathan Ames
The last thing we need is yet another makeup company. Even I have a nervous breakdown when I go through the department store makeup floor. ~ Lauren Hutton
Societal Breakdown quotes by Lauren Hutton
Militarism has been by far the commonest cause of the breakdown of civilizations. The single art of war makes progress at the expense of all the arts of peace. ~ Arnold Joseph Toynbee
Societal Breakdown quotes by Arnold Joseph Toynbee
Chaos often fosters the greatest creativity. Breakdowns often precede the greatest breakthroughs. And when the pain is greatest is often when we're on the brink of the greatest realization ... When the pain is burned through rather than numbed, when our darkness is brought to light and then forgiven, then and only then can we move on. And move on we do. ~ Marianne Williamson
Societal Breakdown quotes by Marianne Williamson
it was Elner who gave me my first cat, after I had my breakdown, when I told her the doctor said I needed Prozac. She said, 'Tot, sometimes what you need is a kitten,' and you know, she was right. ~ Fannie Flagg
Societal Breakdown quotes by Fannie Flagg
The thing is, one in three women in the Western world will end up having an abortion, but they never talk about it. When you keep silent about that stuff, it is because you are embarrassed by the societal distaste of the topic. ~ Caitlin Moran
Societal Breakdown quotes by Caitlin Moran
Death may be due to a wide variety of diseases and disorders, but in every case the underlying physiological cause is a breakdown in the body's oxygen cycle. ~ Dr. Milton Helpern
Societal Breakdown quotes by Dr. Milton Helpern
A breakdown is not the end.
Even the strongest of people have a
breaking point,
We all break at some point in our lives.
Yes, we all do.
Remember,
it's not something to be ashamed of,
it's not the mark of your weakness.
But in fact, your survival through it
is just a proof of your resilience. ~ Drishti Bablani
Societal Breakdown quotes by Drishti Bablani
I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, 'Poor thing.' I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better. ~ Elijah Wood
Societal Breakdown quotes by Elijah Wood
Hamilton's critics seriously underrated his superhuman stamina. He enjoyed beating his enemies at their own game, and the resolutions roused his fighting spirit. By February 19, in a staggering display of diligence, he delivered to the House several copious reports, garlanded with tables, lists, and statistics that gave a comprehensive overview of his work as treasury secretary. In the finale of one twenty-thousand-word report, Hamilton intimated that he had risked a physical breakdown to complete this heroic labor: It is certain that I have made every exertion in my power, at the hazard of my health, to comply with the requisitions of the House as early as possible. ~ Ron Chernow
Societal Breakdown quotes by Ron Chernow
If you think you have big problems - and you are looking for more big problems - you will definitely have a lot of them. Instead of giving yourself a nervous breakdown when a difficult situation arises, put the situation into proper perspective. In the event you find yourself unemployed, sure, it's a problem of sorts. But compared to the situation of a pavement dweller in India, who has to spend twelve hours a day looking for water and food just to survive for another day, your problem of being unemployed in North America is quite a privilege ~ Ernie J Zelinski
Societal Breakdown quotes by Ernie J Zelinski
It remains to be seen which program will cause greater societal damage: China's one-child policy or America's one-parent policy. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Societal Breakdown quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
What's been building since the 1980's is a new kind of social Darwinism that blames poverty and crime and the crisis of our youth on a breakdown of the family. That's what will last after this flurry on family values. ~ Stephanie Coontz
Societal Breakdown quotes by Stephanie Coontz
Through the substance of human flesh flows life. Life is more than matter. Religions that attempt to keep the body sacred while denying the Creator's hand are in the same boat as skeptics who try to protect life while saying it is nothing more than matter.

All the desacralizing that has engulfed our culture lies in this very struggle to understand the place and sacredness of the body. The right to every individual life, even the one still in the mother's womb; the pleasure and consummation of sexual delights, reserved for the sanctity of marriage; the injunction against suicide; the care and protection of one's health; the injunction against killing; and the command to love others more than we love ourselves and to work for their good-all of these flow from the fact that this body is a dwelling place for God. Our world would be a different place if we comprehended this sobering privilege.

Having lost this truth, what we are left with? Pornography and the cruel degradation of men, women, and children; death in the womb in the name of personal rights; the breakdown of the family for myriad reasons; the profanation of sex in our entertainment industry; violence in unprecedented proportions. One can only weep for the bleeding and loss. In losing the high value that God has placed on the body, we are in free fall, at the mercy of greed, cruelty, and lust. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Societal Breakdown quotes by Ravi Zacharias
In many cases, water stress is more about politics, economics, behaviour and governance than absolute water scarcity. Better planning is needed, to allocate water where societal need is greatest, and to allow trade-offs between alternative uses. ~ Ian Goldin
Societal Breakdown quotes by Ian Goldin
Much of what is considered "good" in little girls is considered downright repulsive in little boys. Physical timidity or hypercautiousness, being quietly "well behaved", and depending on others for help and support are thought to be natural - if not outright charming - in girls. Boys, however, are actively discouraged from the dependent forms of relating, which are considered "sissyish" in male children. ~ Colette Dowling
Societal Breakdown quotes by Colette Dowling
I always believed that photography was subjective, interpretive and certainly did not represent the truth, but I did think that its status as a societal and historical referent needed to be both safeguarded and illuminated ... now photojournalism is devolving into yet another medium perceived as intending to shock, titillate, sell, distort. ~ Fred Ritchin
Societal Breakdown quotes by Fred Ritchin
A mustache sends a visual message to the mating population of Earth that says, "No thank you. I have procreated. My DNA is out in the world, and so I no longer deserve physical affection. Instead, it is time for me to turn away from sex and toward new pursuits, the classic weird dad hobbies such as puns, learning trivia about bridges and wars, and dreaming about societal collapse and global apocalypse. ~ John Hodgman
Societal Breakdown quotes by John Hodgman
One day, because they realize for some reason or other that they must stop credit expansion, the banks do stop creating new credit to lend. Then the firms that have expanded cannot get credit to pay for the factors of production necessary for the completion of the investment projects which they have already committed themselves. Because they cannot pay their bills, they sell off their inventories cheap. Then comes the panic, the breakdown. And the depression starts. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Societal Breakdown quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Hy is it that in problematic situations almost everyone resorts to axioms and societal remedies that in actuality almost nobody believes in? ... ask yourself, have you ever known anyone whose marriage was saved by a marriage counselor, whose drinking was cured by a psychiatrist, whose son was kept out of reform school by a social worker? ~ James Lee Burke
Societal Breakdown quotes by James Lee Burke
Should I write about how badly shattered I am?
Or carve the words of what's next?

I have million emotions to write about my breakdown,
To scream out aloud,
To be heard,
to me have said!

But I simply choose to write one word 'Hope'
When I think of my Journey.. Ahead! ~ Somya Kedia
Societal Breakdown quotes by Somya Kedia
If you say you've had a nervous breakdown or things aren't right mentally, people run away from you. They think you're from 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest,' you know. ~ Frank Bruno
