Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
