Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or phenomenon:

“The beginning of Canadian cultural nationalism was not “Am I really that oppressed?” but “Am I really that boring?””

“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes....
