Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.”
—Charles James Fox (1749–1806)
“The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
