Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or switzerland:
“I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality.

—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
