Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
