Quotations regarding 'Culture'

Choose a letter: 
There are some liberals eager to embrace a culture void of morals, but the majority of America is made up of honest, hard-working families who turned out in droves to protect the traditional way of life.
John Doolittle, American Politician (1950-  )
If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization.
Mary Douglas, British Scientist (1921-2007)
The theory of cultural bias... is the idea that a culture is based on a particular form of organization. It can't be transplanted except to another variant of that organization.
Mary Douglas, British Scientist (1921-2007)
I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science.
Ann Druyan, American Writer (1949-  )
In the light of our culture, these are not unreasonable questions and tactics, but if once again, we try to see the lens through which we look, we can see that there is far too great an emphasis placed on the future.
Alan Dundes, American Educator (1935-2005)
I didn't choose Russia but Russia chose me. I had been fascinated from an early age by the culture, the language, the literature and the history to the place.
Helen Dunmore, British Poet (1952-  )
American culture is torn between our long romance with violence and our terror of the devastation wrought by war and crime and environmental havoc.
Katherine Dunn, American Novelist
But the idea that women can't take care of themselves still permeates our culture.
Katherine Dunn, American Novelist
It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.
Trevor Dunn, American Musician (1968-  )
Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.
Trevor Dunn, American Musician (1968-  )
You get below the Mason-Dixon line and you have some of the best music, culture, the two races, the literature, and it's so rich.
Robert Duvall, American Actor (1931-  )
You really have to soak up the culture of the people to get it right. If you're making a fiction film, it's entertainment, but you want it to be as real as possible.
Robert Duvall, American Actor (1931-  )
Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.
Henry Van Dyke, American Poet
That said, there is a tendency to help the large industrial conglomerate more quickly than the small company you have never heard of. That is something in the culture we are trying to change.
Lawrence Eagleburger, American Diplomat (1930-2011)
Women are the victims of this patriarchal culture, but they are also its carriers. Let us keep in mind that every oppressive man was raised in the confines of his mother's home.
Shirin Ebadi, Iranian Lawyer (1947-  )
While mainstream media is led by profit, ratings and popularist culture and filtered by the current political climate, Alternative Media is lead solely by the convictions of the campaign and film maker.
Ben Edwards, British Entertainer
We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.
David Elliott, British Celebrity
It is my hope that as we commemorate Black History Month in the future, we will continue to celebrate the many achievements and rich culture of African-Americans.
Eliot Engel, American Politician (1947-  )
Culture is a little like dropping an Alka-Seltzer into a glass - you don't see it, but somehow it does something.
Hans Magnus Enzensberger, German Author (1929-  )
Culture means, I think, that you have widened your experience enough through reading and through being a little bit thoughtful about these things that it has changed your outlook in some ways. And not necessarily made you a better human being but made you see things.
Joseph Epstein, American Writer (1937-  )
