 It is so stupid of modern civilization to have given up believing in the devil when he is the only explanation of it

 Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils.

  Hermann Hesse

 Cultivated men and women who do not skim the cream of life, and are attached to the duties, yet escape the harder blows, make acute and balanced observers
  George Meredith

 Culture is on the horns of this dilemma: if profound and noble it must remain rare, if common it must become mean
  George Santayana

 Culture is one thing and varnish is another.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection.
  Matthew Arnold
