Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “The genius of American culture and its integrity comes from fidelity to the light. Plain as day, we say. Happy as the day is long. Early to bed, early to rise. American virtues are daylight virtues: honesty, integrity, plain speech. We say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no, and all else comes from the evil one. America presumes innocence and even the right to happiness.”
    —Richard Rodriguez (b. 1944)
