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)

    All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.
    Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
