Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    “What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
    —Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    “The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
