Scissors/culture/superstition

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or superstition:

    “We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    “Superstition? Who can define the boundary line between the superstition of yesterday and the scientific fact of tomorrow?”
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
