Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.”
    —Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
