Society Quotes
-
In Britain, journalists often view comparisons with our society going back two, three, or seven centuries as more relevant than comparisons going back two, three, or seven decades.

The distant past, selectively mined for evidence that justifies our current conduct, becomes more important than living memory.
Anthony Daniels

My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug.
