Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
