Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
    —Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
