Famous quotes containing the words magazine, popular and/or culture:

    I long for a land that does not yet exist, a place where women are valued both for their intellects and their motherhood and where choices between career and nurturing are somehow less stark.
    —“Where Mothers Matter,” New York Times Magazine (February 20, 1994)

    All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
