Good Society People Quotes

This collection holds 11 good society people quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are John Roberts, Takashi Miike and Ananya Birla.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

Takashi Miike / Filmmaker

I don't think a film that has no effect on people or society is a good film.

Ananya Birla

As rural people like to maintain a good name in society, they are more honest about repaying loans.

John Roberts / Author

People, for reasons of their own, often fail to do things that would be good for them or good for society.

Darin Strauss / Writer

Society isn't good at dealing with people who have something concrete to feel guilty about or who are dealing with a loss.

Nicholas Meyer / Screenwriter

Schools and libraries are the twin cornerstones of a civilized society. Libraries are only good if people use them, like books only exist when someone reads them.

George Pelecanos / Author

I'm intrigued by people who make their modest living doing good things for others. Teachers, nonprofit workers, librarians... those are the heroes in our society.

Pope Francis

If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn't marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society.

Blase J. Cupich

The Catholic Church is an enormous footprint in Chicago, doing a lot of good. That aspiration is felt by a lot of people - that the church succeed - because it will be good for society.

Chris Grayling / British Politician

It's not good enough to announce 'I know my rights' if you aren't prepared to accept that you have responsibilities to society and your fellow citizens as well. And if people don't live up to those responsibilities to our society, they will not be able to hide behind their rights.

Mark Zuckerberg / Programmer

No one has done a study on this, as far as I can tell, but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out. We didn't create that - society was generally ready for that. I think this is just part of the general trend that we talked about, about society being more open, and I think that's good.

John Roberts / Author

People, for reasons of their own, often fail to do things that would be good for them or good for society. Those failures - joined with the similar failures of others - can readily have a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
