Wells/culture

Famous quotes containing the words wells and/or culture:

    The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
    The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
    The books that people talk about we never can recall;
    And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.
    —Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)

    There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
