Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.”
    —Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
