Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or urban:

    “The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read,
    With loads of learned lumber in his head.
    With his own tongue still edifies his ears,
    And always listening to himself appears.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
