Famous quotes containing the words people and/or culture:
“Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
