To customs and beliefs, the very ones we hold sacred, sociology ruthlessly attaches the adjective 'arbitrary'.
-Aron, Raymond Claude Ferdinand
Politics and History.
It appears, then, that ethics, as a branch of knowledge, is nothing more than a department of psychology and sociology.
-Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules
Language, Truth and Logic, ch.6.
What is it about sociology that instantly bogus down in fens of jargon?
-Baker, Russell Wayne
In the NewYork Times,15 Dec.
Economics is all about how people make choices. Sociology is all about why they don't have any choices to make.
-Duesenberry,James Stemble
In the National Bureau of Economic Research's Demographic and Economic Change in the Developed World.
Sociology is a new science concerning itself not with esoteric matters outside the comprehension of the layman, as the older sciences do, but with the ordinary affairs of ordinary people. This seems to engender in those who write about it a feeling that the lack of any abstruseness in their subject matter demands a compensatory abstruseness in their language.
-Gowers, Sir Ernest Arthur
'Sociologese', in H F Fowler A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (2nd rev edn).
Sociology is the science of talk, and there is only one law in sociology. Bad talk drives out good.
-Knight, Frank Hyneman
Quoted in Paul A Samuelson The Samuelson Sampler (1973).
With all allowance made for Marx's erudition and his historic impact upon the social sciences, especially sociology, it is as an art united with prophecy, virtually religious prophecy, that Marxism survives.
-Nisbet, Robert
Sociology as an Art Form, ch.5.
Sociology was born of the modern ardor to improve society.
-Small, AlbionW
An Introduction to the Study of Society (with George E Vincent,1894).
Sociology seems to have missed every intellectually promising boat in the last half century.
-van den Berghe, Pierre L
'From the Popocatepetl to the Limpopo', collected in Bennett Berger (ed) Authors of their Own Lives (1990).
The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable.
Nadine Gordimer quotes (South African novelist and short-story writer, 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature, b.1923)
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
Marilyn Manson
Social movements are at once the symptoms and the instruments of progress. Ignore them and statesmanship is irrelevant; fail to use them and it is weak.
Lippmann, Walter
A good Christian is a good atheist, a good atheist is a good Christian. I'm a Christian.
Prof. Gerry Lanuza
History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.

Naghahanap ako ng Sociology quote para sa org shirt. Ito ang ilan sa mga nakita ko, kaso yung pinakagusto ko mukang pwede na hindi. Haha. Anyways, gusto ko talaga sya. Hehe. Papagawa ako ng sarili ko. Kemekemerloo na lang. Hehe.
May nagtext! Ang ate ko, nasa monumento pa lang daw sya. Sobrang trapik daw dahil may mobilisasyon dun sa monumento ni Boning, hehe. Alaskwatro ang pasok nya at limang minuto na lang ang natitirang oras. Pero keri lang daw, ang hindi nya makeri ay 'yung mama daw sa likod nya. Minumura daw 'yung mga nasa mob o mga 'aktibista', tuwang-tuwa pa raw dahil may bumbero at bubombahin sila. Natawa ko sa text nya, natutuwa ako sa karakter na ipinakita ng nakakatanda kong kapatid. Hindi na rin katulad ng iba. Haha. Sabi nga nya, inosente daw kase 'yung mama at natutuwa ako dahil hindi sya kabilang dun. Inosente nga siguro si manong o mangmang, pero hindi pa rin nya kasalanan 'yun. Ang mga taong katulad ni manong ay biktima lang ng bulok na sistema ng lipunan, katulad ko at katulad mo. Pero ang bulok na sistema ring ito ang gigising sa monopolyadong pag-iisip ng mga tao. Charr.
Ayun, naghahanap pa rin ako. Hehe. Meron ka bang maisa-suggest dyan? Share naman.
