  • Eckstein appears as a character in Joseph Skibell's 2010 novel, A Curable Romantic.
  • The song "Emma Eckstein's Nose Job" was released as a single in 2010 by Danish musician Anders Thode.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or influences:

    The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.
    Ann Oakley (b. 1944)

    The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun; and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
