Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.”
    —Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)

    “Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
