Scissors/culture/superstition

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or superstition:

    “The aggregate of all knowledge has not yet become culture in us. Rather it would seem as if, with the progressive scientific penetration and dissection of reality, the foundations of our thinking grow ever more precarious and unstable.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “The difference between faith and superstition is that the first uses reason to go as far as it can, and then makes the jump; the second shuns reason entirely—which is why superstition is not the ally, but the enemy, of true religion.”
    —Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
