Famous quotes containing the words people and/or culture:
“A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
