Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;

    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.”
