Anyday, one can walk down the street in a big city and see a thousand people. Any photographer can photograph these people - but very few photographers can make their prints not only reproductions of the people taken, but a comment upon them - or more, a comment upon their lives - or more still, a comment upon the social order that creates these lives.

Langston Hughes

People should say 'no comment' more often. No comment! I love no comment. Let's have more no comment.

Conan O'Brien

When I grew up, in the time of 'Look Back in Anger,' the theatre was very exciting, a place where you felt that social comment could lead to social change.

Tim Pigott-Smith

It's a social life, or time to read the comment section: I prefer social life.

Katya Zamolodchikova

Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.

Susan Sontag

If someone appears on television and makes a comment, and we quote that comment, we are being accurate. But are we actually being sensible if we don't know if that comment is based on any facts whatsoever? It is something that journalists have to be much more aware of.

Gavin Esler

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.

Paul McCartney

I spent so many years of my life as a stage actor and when you do all these plays, a lot of really great plays are very politically driven. They deal with deep social issues, and that's the kind of stuff that I love, as an audience member.

Danny Strong

I do think that part of literature's job is to comment on and participate in the social issues of the time.

Linda Sue Park

Allowing an unimportant mistake to pass without comment is a wonderful social grace.

Judith Martin

I do not comment on politics, but I see computerization of the election process as good for stability and social harmony.

Andrew Tan

There's nothing personal in it [THE SKRIKER]. I'm not ever inclined with any of the plays to say, This is about that, because plays are about the whole event that they are. . . . I was certainly wanting to write a play about damage - damage to nature and damage to people, both of which there's plenty of about. To that extent, I was writing a play about England now.

Caryl Churchill

I don't necessarily see my not wearing makeup as a social comment or that it's because I work in a female-dominated industry.

Leandra Medine

I want to be a part of films that have some kind of social comment and that will help people evolve.

Bhumi Pednekar

In man, social intercourse has centred mainly on the process of absorbing fluid into the organism, but in the domestic dog and to a lesser extent among all wild canine species, the act charged with most social significance is the excretion of fluid.
