Cultural Traits

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or traits:

“We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture.

For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)

“A man finds room in the few square inches of the face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the expression of all his history, and his wants.”
