    “Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “This is the last leaf
    in the year’s book.
    Now I come to grief
    as the earth’s breast goes hard and mean
    and hay is packed for the manger.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Ever since I was a kid my folks fed me bigotry for breakfast and ignorance for supper. Never, not once did they ever make me feel proud of where I was born. That’s it. That was a cancer they put in me. No knowledge of my country. No pride. Just a hymn of hate.”
    —Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
