Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:
“Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
