Famous quotes containing the words language and/or culture:

“Consensus is usually made possible by vague language and shallow commitments.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
