Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:
“In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“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)
