Famous quotes containing the words cannibalism, popular and/or culture:
“There is a cannibalism thats loose in our society in which public figures such as the Clintons could try to come into this town and do something good for this country and then they get hammered away even though theyre trying to do the right thing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
“I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
—Jean Dubuffet (19011985)
