The hard truth is proverb

 The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.
  Susan Sontag

 Our laws are reflection of our culture, and in our culture it's not acceptable to torture small animals,

 San Francisco has always been a place apart, and a center of eccentric and independent thinkers. And what we started here, I don't think could have grown up anywhere else. You can create a social context in which culture can be created, but you can't directly create the culture.

 Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable.

 Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century's surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.
  Susan Sontag

 In the context of the troop we're able to have our own culture.

 Truth no longer matters in the context of politics and, sadly, in the context of cable news.

 I am not a prophet. I am the leader of Israel, ... When the time comes, the Palestinians will have to negotiate with us what kind of entity is shaped for them in a context, a wider context, of all the other issues that are on the table.

 In context, those comments might have seemed fairly acceptable. But the market goes by headlines, and seeing that headline, the market sold the dollar.

 There are a lot of ramifications and invasion-of-privacy issues. We basically tell the students what is acceptable and what isn't acceptable, and athletes are the unspoken definition of role models and we expect them to act that way.

 With the real estate property and valuations continually increasing in that area we just can't continue to operate that kind of retail store. We weren't able to secure another lease that was acceptable to us and acceptable to the owners.

 It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable.

 Judaism is a civilization. It has history, culture, literature. It has jokes, ... Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing. We're looking at the ways in which a person who is Jewish by birth, civilization, culture, context and family may look at things differently from the way a person who is Catholic and lives down the road may see them.

 Jamestown changed the world in many ways, but perhaps it shaped our nation most profoundly the day Africans arrived. I can't think of a more relevant place to talk about the issues facing our community today than the place where African culture became American culture.
