Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
