Cultural Vigor

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or vigor:

    If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.
    Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)

    But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art.
