Human/culture

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or culture:

“Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
