Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or reference:

    “Quite apart from any conscious program, the great cultural historians have always been historical morphologists: seekers after the forms of life, thought, custom, knowledge, art.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “If we define a sign as an exact reference, it must include symbol because a symbol is an exact reference too. The difference seems to be that a sign is an exact reference to something definite and a symbol an exact reference to something indefinite.”
    —William York Tindall (1903–1981)
