Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “The purpose of education is to keep a culture from being drowned in senseless repetitions, each of which claims to offer a new insight.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    “Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “The white dominant culture seemed to think that once the Indians were off the reservations, they’d eventually become like everybody else. But they aren’t like everybody else. When the Indianness is drummed out of them, they are turned into hopeless drunks on skid row.”
    —Elizabeth Morris (b. c. 1933)
