Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Just try to prove you’re not a camel!”
—Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination....

—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
