Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
