Famous quotes containing the words high and/or degree:
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creators lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
“I began to realize that it was bigotry of the worst kind to say that its better to be dead than to be born retarded or blind or without a limb. Its a value judgment youre making about someones life, based on their degree of perfection.”
—Juli Loesch (b. c. 1953)
