Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
