Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or geography:
“The personal appropriation of clichés is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.”
—Serge Daney (19441992)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
