Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.

    Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
