In Popular Culture
Demarest Creative Writing Section alumnus Junot Díaz refers to Demarest in his Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

A shot of Demarest Hall appears in The World According to Garp, roughly an hour and a half into the movie.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
