Berlin/culture

Famous quotes containing the words berlin and/or culture:

    You had your breakfast in bed before,
    But you won’t have it there anymore.
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
