Culture
The Prague Metro is used very much by locals, and the quote given by the PA system when the doors are closing, "Ukončete, prosím, výstup a nástup, dveře se zavírají" (Please finish boarding and exiting, the doors are closing) has become a symbol of Prague for some tourists, and is possibly the first clear Czech phrase many travelers hear.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“To assault the total culture totally is to be free to use all the fruits of mankind’s wisdom and experience without the rotten structure in which these glories are encased and encrusted.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
