Famous quotes containing the words pop and/or culture:

    I don’t pop my cork for ev’ry guy I see.
    Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)

    In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
