Famous quotes containing the words assembly and/or culture:

    Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob.

    Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.
    Gerald Early (b. 1952)
