Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “The highest end of government is the culture of men.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I’ve finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.”
