Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    ... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
