Famous quotes containing the words culture and, culture and/or society:

    “Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “Remove advertising, disable a person or firm from preconising [proclaiming] its wares and their merits, and the whole of society and of the economy is transformed. The enemies of advertising are the enemies of freedom.”
    —J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
