Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
    —J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)

    “Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)
