Famous quotes containing the words cultural, world and/or heritage:

    “The personal appropriation of clichés is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.”
    —Serge Daney (1944–1992)

    “We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
