Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The highest end of government is the culture of men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fibre of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardy.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
