Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “One knows so well the popular idea of health. The English country gentleman galloping after a fox—the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.”
    —Midge Decter (b. 1927)
