“You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think.”
Dorothy Parker
“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
Ray Bradbury
““Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn’t see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love. Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will. At least the ancient Greeks were being honest.””
Chuck Palahniuk
“It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.”
“Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart”
Mahatma Gandhi
“A culture is not an abstract thing. It is a living, evolving process. The aim is to push beyond standard-setting and asserting human rights to make those standards a living reality for people everywhere.”
Mary Robinson
“A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.”
Mohandas Gandhi
