Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built.

—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“The highest end of government is the culture of men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
