Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “Insolent youth rides, now, in the whirlwind. For those modern iconoclasts who are without culture possess, apparently, all the courage.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    “It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    “Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
    —Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
