Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or superstition:

    “Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)

    “Superstition? Who can define the boundary line between the superstition of yesterday and the scientific fact of tomorrow?”
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
