Votes/culture

Famous quotes containing the words votes and/or culture:

    Yet do not I invite
    The wrinkled shopman to my sounding woods,
    Nor bid the unwilling senator
    Ask votes of thrushes in the solitudes.
    Every one to his chosen work.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
    Midge Decter (b. 1927)
