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)
“... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
