Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:

    “Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
    —Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)

    “Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
