Ne Material Culture

Famous quotes containing the words material and/or culture:

    This country is at present engaged in furnishing material for future authors; not in encouraging its living ones.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    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)
