Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.”
    —Charles James Fox (1749–1806)

    “When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men,—those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
