Sigmund Freud was a half baked Viennese quack. Our literature, culture, and the the films of Woody Allen would be better today if Freud had never written a word.: Ian Shoales
Nothing in our culture, not even home computers, is more overrated than the epidermal felicity of two featherless bipeds in desperate congress.: Quentin Crisp
When I hear the word "culture" I reach for my gun.: Hans Johst (c. 1939)

Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust.: R. D. Hitchcock
On a group of theories one can found a school; but on a group of values one can found a culture, a civilization, a new way of living together among men.: Ignazio Silone
We merely want to live in peace with all the world, to trade with them, to commune with them, to learn from their culture as they may learn from ours, so that the products of our toil may be used for our schools and our roads and our churches and not for guns and planes and tanks and ships of war.: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
