Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or influence:
“The personal appropriation of clichés is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.”
—Serge Daney (19441992)
“Constitutional statutes ... which embody the settled public opinion of the people who enacted them and whom they are to governcan always be enforced. But if they embody only the sentiments of a bare majority, pronounced under the influence of a temporary excitement, they will, if strenuously opposed, always fail of their object; nay, they are likely to injure the cause they are framed to advance.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
