Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
