Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or culture:

“Whether he cringe at my feet,
whether he beat on your eyes,

“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
