The individual mirrors in his individuation the preordained social laws of exploitation, however mediated.
Theodor Adorno, German Philosopher (1903-1969)
All art is exploitation.
Sherman Alexie, American Writer (1966-  )
Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods.
W. H. Auden, English Poet (1907-1973)
Products made in China are cheap through the exploitation of the workforce. Every time we shop, we are driving the nail further into the coffin of American manufacturing jobs.
Joe Baca, American Politician (1947-  )
Illegal immigrants are beginning to comprise a black market class of workers in our society, jeopardizing the financial health of companies which play by the rules, while themselves vulnerable to the exploitation by those willing to take advantage of their illegal status.
Spencer Bachus, American Politician (1947-  )
Extension work is not exhortation. Nor is it exploitation of the people, or advertising of an institution, or publicity work for securing students. It is a plain, earnest, and continuous effort to meet the needs of the people on their own farms and in the localities.
Liberty Hyde Bailey, American Scientist
When knowledge is limited - it leads to folly... When knowledge exceeds a certain limit, it leads to exploitation.
Abu Bakr, Saudi Arabian Statesman
We must ensure that while eliminating child labor in the export industry, we are also eliminating their labour from the informal sector, which is more invisible to public scrutiny - and thus leaves the children more open to abuse and exploitation.
Carol Bellamy, American Educator (1942-  )
Religion is a means of exploitation employed by the strong against the weak; religion is a cloak of ambition, injustice and vice.
Georges Bizet, French Composer (1838-1875)
The thing that they were more freaked out was that I had done a spread for Playboy years before, and as Playboy always does, they exploit the exploitation and re-release different pictures.
Nina Blackwood, Celebrity (1955-  )
The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
Bertolt Brecht, German Poet (1898-1956)
Innocence is thought charming because it offers delightful possibilities for exploitation.
Mason Cooley, American Writer
We are yet to have a conscience at all about the exploitation of human cultures.
Arthur Erickson, Canadian Architect (1924-  )
What 'jazz' means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudice. The term 'jazz' has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians.
Maxim Gorky, Russian Novelist (1868-1936)
Beware the ends of the earth and the exotic: the drama is on your doorstep wherever the slums; are, wherever there is malnutrition, wherever there is exploitation and cruelty.
John Grierson, British Director (1898-1972)
Global terrorism is extreme both in its lack of realistic goals and in its cynical exploitation of the vulnerability of complex systems.
Jurgen Habermas, German Philosopher (1929-  )
Growing up in the Philippines, I loved all kinds of movies. We had a very healthy film industry there when I was a child. It's now gotten very limited. They only make action movies and hard-core exploitation movies. Women get raped; men get shot.
Jessica Hagedorn, Filipino Writer
If it is, in reality, capitalism that is the motor force behind the destructive forms of globalization, then it must be in their capacity to neutralize or transform this particular mode of exploitation that one can best test these various forms of resistance to the West.
Fredric Jameson, American Critic (1934-  )
I came to poetry through the urgent need to denounce injustice, exploitation, humiliation. I know that's not enough to change the world. But to remain silent would have been a kind of intolerable complicity.
Tahar Ben Jelloun, French Poet (1944-  )
Basically, the reason I'm vegan is because when I was about 16 or 17 years old, I began to understand that we don't need to contribute to the killing and exploitation of animals to feed our bodies correctly.
Daniel Johns, Australian Musician (1979-  )
