Serial/culture

Famous quotes containing the words serial and/or culture:

“An autobiography is an obituary in serial form with the last instalment missing.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
