Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or behavior:

    “The only justification for repressive institutions is material and cultural deficit. But such institutions, at certain stages of history, perpetuate and produce such a deficit, and even threaten human survival.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “The abdication of Belief
    Makes the Behavior small—
    Better an ignis fatuus
    Than no illume at all.”
