Famous quotes containing the words life and/or culture:

    The minutes wing’d their way wi’ pleasure:
    Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious,
    O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.
    Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
