Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “The best of us would rather be popular than right.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)
