Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or reached:

“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.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)

“It is a sure sign that a culture has reached a dead end when it is no longer intrigued by its myths.”
