    Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;

    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
