Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “But popular rage,
    Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
    None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
    Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
