Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
