Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.”
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    “When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    “... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
