Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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