Famous quotes containing the word culture:

“One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage.

Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardy.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.”
