Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or culture:

    It will soon be forgotten, in these days of stoves, that we used to roast potatoes in the ashes, after the Indian fashion.

    Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.
