Cultural Associations
A conversation between Flora Ackroyd and James Sheppard in Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd:
‘That pen that George Eliot wrote The Mill on the Floss with—that sort of thing—well, it's only just a pen after all. If you're really keen on George Eliot, why not get The Mill on the Floss in a cheap edition and read it? ... I suppose you never read such old out-of-date stuff, Miss Flora? ... You're wrong, Dr Sheppard. I love The Mill on the Floss’.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or associations:
“At times it seems that the media have become the mainstream culture in children’s lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it.”
—Ellen Goodman (20th century)
“There are many ways of discarding [books]. You can give them to friends,—or enemies,—or to associations or to poor Southern libraries. But the surest way is to lend them. Then they never come back to bother you.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862?–1942)
