Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
    —J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)

    “If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
