Famous quotes containing the word values:

    “Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    “Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.”
    —Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
