Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    “Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
    —Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)

    “Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
