Brow Culture

Famous quotes containing the words brow and/or culture:

    How unpleasant to meet Mr. Eliot!
    With his features of clerical cut,
    And his brow so grim
    And his mouth so prim
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.
    Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
