Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.
Tom Wolfe | Culture
Modern culture is constantly growing more objective. Its tissues grow more and more out of impersonal energies, and absorb less and less the subjective entirety of the individual.
George Simmel | Modern Culture
When certain branches of the economy become obsolete, as in the case of the steel industry, not only do jobs disappear, which is obviously a terrible social hardship, but certain cultures also disappear.
Peter L. Berger | Economy, Culture
The negative side to globalization is that it wipes out entire economic systems and in doing so wipes out the accompanying culture.
Peter L. Berger | Globalization, Culture
A man should be just cultured enough to be able to look with suspicion upon culture at first, not second hand.
Samuel Butler – Culture
Many cultures have viewed the barrier between life and death as permeable. We insist on making it into a wall, and behind this insistence lurks a good deal of unspoken fear.
Deepak Chopra – Death, Culture
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.
Goethe – Progress, Science, Culture
That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all.
Henry Ward Beecher – Culture
It is proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson – High Culture
Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.
Thomas Carlyle – Culture
High culture is nothing but a child of that European perversion called history, the obsession we have with going forward, with considering the sequence of generations a relay race in which everyone surpasses his predecessor, only to be surpassed by his successor.
Milan Kundera – High Culture and Europe
If high culture is coming to an end, it is also the end of you and your paradoxical ideas, because paradox as such belongs to high culture and not to childish prattle.
Milan Kundera – High Culture
The wealth of a common global culture will then be expressed in the particularities of our different languages and cultures very much like a universal garden of many-coloured flowers. The "flowerness" of the different flowers is expressed in their very diversity. But there is cross-fertilisation between them. And what is more, they all contain in themselves the seeds of a new tomorrow
Ngugi wa Thiong’o – Global Culture, Colonization
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus – Culture, Freedom
I know what you mean about bodeis. At Microsoft you pretend bodies don’t exist
