Cultural Quotes

The Obama years will be remembered as a cultural - and legal - tipping point for equality for all people who do not identify as strictly heterosexual, arguably the civil rights movement of our times. The president signed the bill repealing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ The Defense of Marriage Act was struck down by the Supreme Court Picture Quote #1

I think that in this globalised world, the local is going to become more and more important - it is a paradox. You see it in Western Europe more and more. Eastern Europe is still coming out of the Soviet uniform cultural era, but this kind of separation and nationalism is very obvious now in Western Europe Picture Quote #1

The Jewish culture - people that are Jewish have a certain cultural habit that they’ve formed and one of those habits is an appreciation of theater and music - these are cultural things one does associate with values that are promulgated by Jewish families. I think that’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

Kenya is rapidly developing its industry and manufacturing, and its cultural identity as a new country. We had a humongous history pre-British, and when we were colonized and violently reshuffled, we had to decide who we were again. We couldn’t rest on the stories and the cultures of our great-grandparents Picture Quote #1

It’s impossible to overstate how my relationship to music forms a preserve for the esoteric or even spiritual aspect of my relationship to cultural stuff, to human expressivity... it’s a safe enclosure Picture Quote #1

Israel is a very young country, a cultural melting pot, and unlike the structured life of the Orthodox Jews, I grew up in a non-religious part of society where people were totally open to new experiences on many levels. I learned that when things are missing, you invent them Picture Quote #1

It’s a fusion of almost everything, in the way that I think society today tends to take cultural memory. Because there’s an internet, it’s on there forever. I think that’s the way kids see the world today. They actually speak to each other using retro concepts now because the internet culture has kept that memory alive, constantly Picture Quote #1

On a certain level, the film retains a cultural memory. It may be meaningless to some kids, but it doesn’t matter. A lot of the 90s references will be meaningless, but do some of these kids really understand what they’re wearing when they wear a Led Zeppelin shirt? No. But, it looks cool and it seems to have some sort of cultural cache Picture Quote #1

Christian adults need to think about talking to our own children as a form of cross-cultural missions. Cultural change happens so quickly that teens are exposed to ideas and worldviews very different from those of previous generations Picture Quote #1

A lot of native culture has been destroyed. So you already feel lost inside your culture. And then you add up feeling lost and insignificant inside the larger culture. So you end up feeling lost squared. And to never be recognized, to never have any power, you know, other minority communities actually have a lot of economic, cultural power Picture Quote #1

Also, as a result of the involvement of American foundations that have backing from the U.S. State Department in Iranian internal politics, cultural exchange and dialogue have become more and more problematic Picture Quote #1

The twisty nature of psychic attack - are you being attacked, or did you bring this attack on yourself? - speaks to me of an American cultural paradox we all grapple with. There’s the rampant litigiousness of our society, and the desire to blame others for our misfortunes Picture Quote #1

I saw an interview with Keith Richards. He said, ‘How else could a kid in Dartford suddenly connect with and understand what Muddy Waters is singing?’ There’s a cultural difference, but there’s just something in that music that subconsciously or internally you just understand; it just makes sense Picture Quote #1

The actual act of writing brings me such pleasure - to tell stories, to engage in cultural criticism, to reflect, to question, all of it is invigorating Picture Quote #1

Just as we acquaint ourselves with materials, and just as we must understand functions, we must become familiar with the psychological and spiritual factors of the day. No cultural activity is possible otherwise, for we are dependent on the spirit of our time Picture Quote #1

Foreign students add cultural value to their British peers, who need an international outlook Picture Quote #1

Like most citizens of popular and international urban centres, I don’t take advantage of the cultural opportunities. Perhaps this comes from growing up in suburbia. Home is where you eat, sleep, read, watch television and ignore your parents. It is not where you go to the ballet and then attend a heated panel discussion about it afterwards Picture Quote #1

For me, writing stories set, well, wherever they’re best set, is a form of cultural curiosity that is uniquely Scottish - we’re famous for travelling in search of adventure Picture Quote #1

When we can’t determine what is art - when you get to that point where we’re not sure, that’s the greatest likelihood that we’re actually experiencing something great. But I think that’s what the art world is most afraid of, because you lose that security. Then we don’t know how to assign evaluation, whether it’s cultural or otherwise Picture Quote #1

It’s unfortunate that [Louis] Brandeis was not able to translate or abstract his devotion to cultural pluralism and racial equality as he put it for Jews to enslave people and their descendants and to African Americans Picture Quote #1

Cultural wisdom says ‘Don’t quit your day job.’ Yet I think these desires represent our psyche’s stretch toward wholeness. And to be whole, as many religious tranditions teach, is to make manifest a unique face of God in the world. We don’t want to be irresponsible, yet for every accountant who deserts his family and sails for Tahiti, ten American men have heart attacks at their desks, after hours Picture Quote #1

Violence against women isn’t cultural, it’s criminal. Equality cannot come eventually, it’s something we must fight for now Picture Quote #1

Human society has dense borders - economic, religious and cultural - inculcated from an early age. We hate change Picture Quote #1

It’s a melting pot, southern Africa. You find these cultural collisions that result in art and music, and it’s pretty amazing Picture Quote #1

We shouldn’t feel restricted by our sexuality, and our sexuality doesn’t have to be a cultural choice. That’s an amazing variety of music within those five main performers Picture Quote #1

I think women of our generation went through Cultural Revolution, went through hardship, coming from nowhere, and suddenly see China’s amazing opportunity. So women just seized the opportunity Picture Quote #1

If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together, and the rock industry, we’d just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we’re such an amazing race Picture Quote #1

There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian-Wests haven’t been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that Picture Quote #1

I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the business and administrative centre of American culture Picture Quote #1

Only when you leave do you appreciate what binds American people and our cultural experience together Picture Quote #1
