The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it - aliens.

Alan Watts No people come into possession of a culture without having paid a heavy price for it. James A. Baldwin The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. Charles Darwin France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster. Johnny Depp Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future. Albert Camus Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny. Albert Camus Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay. Aldous Huxley Civilization is a youth with a molotov cocktail in his hand. Culture is the Soviet tank or L.A. cop that guns him down. Edward Abbey Our culture runs on coffee and gasoline, the first often tasting like the second. Edward Abbey There's so much plastic in this culture that vinyl leopard skin is becoming an endangered synthetic. Lily Tomlin Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble. Hubert H. Humphrey English culture is basically homosexual in the sense that the men only really care about other men. Germaine Greer What 'multiculturalism' boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture - and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture. Thomas Sowell Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony. Ludwig Wittgenstein It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed "Wisdom." And then I know exactly what is going to follow: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Ludwig Wittgenstein I've been to Africa three times. All right? You can't bring Western reasoning into the culture. The same way you can't bring it into fundamental Islam. Bill O'Reilly I think of art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it. Marshall McLuhan Art at its most significant is a Distant Early Warning System that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it. Marshall McLuhan There's a general culture in this country to cut all the trees. It makes me so angry because everyone is cutting and no one is planting. Wangari Maathai A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture. Abraham Joshua Heschel |
