Famous quotes containing the word culture:

“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

“The highest end of government is the culture of men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
