Famous quotes containing the words culture, places and/or interest:
“As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive—you are leaking.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“Opinions are a private matter. The public has an interest only in judgments.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
