Cultural Property Protection

Famous quotes containing the words cultural, property and/or protection:

    If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.
    Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)

    It is as if being was to be observed,
    As if, among the possible purposes
    Of what one sees, the purpose that comes first,
    The surface, is the purpose to be seen,
    The property of the moon, what it evokes.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)
