Human Culture

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or culture:

“We have almost succeeded in leveling all human activities to the common denominator of securing the necessities of life and providing for their abundance.”

“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.”
