your soul needs to be lonely so that its strangest elements can moil about, curl and growl and jump, fail and get triumphant, all inside you. Sociable people have the most trouble hearing their unconscious. They have trouble getting rid of clichés because clichés are sociable.

Carol Bly

In society it is etiquette for ladies to have the best chairs and get handed things. In the home the reverse is the case. This is why ladies are more sociable than gentlemen.

Virginia Graham

In some corner of the world they are probably still holding regular meetings of the Flat Earth Society. We derive no comfort because important people, vocal people, or great numbers of people agree with us. Nor do we derive comfort if they don't.

Warren Buffett

Totalitarian regimes produce a culture and a moral code that is totally different from what happens in a democracy. There are two moral categories in a communist society: honest men and bad men. The "honest" ones resist compromising or collaborating with the regime, while the "bad" are the persecutors and collaborators. You can choose to be on one side or the other, but there is nothing in between. In a normal society, other factors can define who you are. You can be a good worker, sociable, tough, generous, tolerant, collaborative, friendly.

Society in shipwreck is comfort to all.

Publilius Syrus

Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. A family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.

Edith Schaeffer

Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.

Francis Bacon

Religion is the basis of civil society, and the source of all good and of all comfort.

Edmund Burke

A playwright has a responsibility in his society not to aid it, or comfort it, but to comment and criticize it.

Edward Albee

Habit is the cement of society, the comfort of life, and, alas! The root of error.

Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke

We love comfort, and people make a lot of money selling us comfort, but I would challenge the notion that comfort is usually good for us.

Daniel Lieberman

The mistake we make is to look for a source of comfort in ourselves: self-contemplation, instead of gazing upon God. In other words, we look for comfort precisely where comfort never can be.

Frederick William Robertson

The reality is that in much of industrialized societies, we are completely addicted to comfort. We are a society of addicts.

Julia Hill

Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. And even if they secretly want for something better.
