 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. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.
  Hermann Hesse

 Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.
  Frank Lloyd Wright

 That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness. No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.
  Mahatma Gandhi

 Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why
  Henry Van Dyke

 Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world
  Matthew Arnold

 As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.
  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 Anglo-American culture seems to be governed by the perverse belief that portrayals of the body's abuse or destruction are harmless, even fortifying, while those that show the body in pleasure act like poison

 As long as our culture continues to fawn over its downward-aspiring lowest common denominators, the United States will remain a social and political punch line. As long as we continue tracking the every deed and fart of the Paris Hiltons and Kevin Federlines among us, we will continue to come out sixteenth best with regard to producing and introducing to the human race things of true substance worth appreciating for their aesthetic ingenuity.

 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

 Culture is roughly anything we do and the monkeys don't.
