—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious.”
