Text Quotes
Overseas, kids grow up in a soccer culture. The German player sees the game eons above the American player the same age. (Culture Quotes)
The most important fact about American liberty is that it has never been a single idea, but a set of different and even contrary traditions in creative tension with one another. This diversity of libertarian ideas has created a culture of freedom which is more open and expansive than any unitary tradition alone could possibly be. (Culture Quotes)
Action roles - or any role - should go to the best guy for the job. People obsess about nationality. Hollywood and America might be the hub for pop culture and cinema for the Western world, but that shouldn’t suggest that all the roles should go to young American men. (Culture Quotes)
There’s been a lot of talk about black men and the presence and absence of black men in positions of power in American culture. (Culture Quotes)
The gestures and the swagger and the attitude of black men is imitated everywhere in American culture, but people still find black men intolerable. (Culture Quotes)
Even some of us who make movies underestimate their influence abroad. American movies sell American culture. Foreigners want to see American movies. But that’s also why so many foreign governments and groups object to them. (Culture Quotes)
I think it’s that thing of growing up all the time watching American movies and listening to American music. It hits you in a way that’s a lot purer because you are not in that culture that you’re watching. (Culture Quotes)
America, the great liberator, is in desperate need of being liberated from itself -- from its own excesses and arrogance. And the world needs to be liberated from American values and culture, spreading across the planet as if by divine providence. (Culture Quotes)
I am an American, steeped in American values. But I know on an emotional level what it means to be of the Chinese culture. (Culture Quotes)
The problem in Hollywood is that they try to become the only kind of cinema in the world, okay? The imposition everywhere of a unique culture, which is Hollywood culture, and a unique way of life, which is the American way of life. (Culture Quotes)
When an idea is important to a person or culture it will find its way into imagery (Culture Quotes)
The food in the South is as important as food anywhere because it defines a person’s culture (Culture Quotes)
Chinese culture in general is not very religious. Confucianism is more a code of ethics than a religion, and ancestor worship is a way for parents to control you even after they’re dead. (Culture Quotes)
We must teach our people the greatness of China’s historical culture. In our educational program we must stress Chinese history and geography so that all may know and appreciate China’s civilization of five thousand years and the far-flung boundaries of our ancient race. This will engender a greater faith in our own future. (Culture Quotes)
Kant does represents a distinctively modern view of the human condition in contrast to that of ancient high culture, found in ancient Greek ethics and also in ancient Chinese ethics. (Culture Quotes)
I’m inspired by lines, by shapes, when I see a dress on a person, when I see a beauty in a face, whether it’s a man from an ancient culture or a beautiful young model. So what inspires me? Life inspires me. (Culture Quotes)
When a young person is moved by a passion and feels compelled to go on this sort of quest, I think you have to let him. You can’t stop him. In our culture we don’t have formal rights of passage like in some ancient cultures. Subjecting yourself to risk... may be something you have to go through to be a man or a woman. (Culture Quotes)
I must admit that I am fascinated by the glories of ancient India. But when will the purveyors of Indian culture realise that not everything about our past was glorious? (Culture Quotes)
The ancient world is always accessible, no matter what culture you come from. I remember when I was growing up in India and I read the ‘Iliad’ and the ‘Odyssey.’ (Culture Quotes)
We have a lot of historical and religious baggage in our culture. It’s ancient; we are clannish as a species. We like things to fit into boxes, and it’s unfortunate because humans are unique and should be celebrated and embraced as such. (Culture Quotes)
This is a good time to ask apologists for the Islamic regime, who degrades Islam? Who imposes stoning, forced marriage of underage girls and flogging for not wearing the veil? Do such practices represent Iran’s ancient history and culture, its ethnic and religious diversity? Its centuries of sensual and subversive poetry? (Culture Quotes)
As I obsess about my ancient problems, I feel more like I’m sinking in quicksand than lighting a torch. I’m creating neither heat nor light, just the icky, perversely pleasurable squish of self-pity between my toes. My only defense is that I’m not the only one down here in the muck - our whole culture is doting on tales of personal tragedy. (Culture Quotes)
Iran is the latest expression of a deep, ancient, powerful culture that’s different than ours. And we don’t know how it’s going to play itself out. (Culture Quotes)
...I believe, with Gandhi, that we need to take an imaginative leap forward toward fresh and generous idealism for the sake of all humanity - that we neeed to renew this ancient wisdom of nonviolence, to strive for a disarmed world, and to create a culture of nonviolence. (Culture Quotes)
I think Ang Lee is a very, very talented director. He used martial arts to talk about love and girl, you know... But Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts film to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope the world will become. (Culture Quotes)
One effect of an individualistic culture that’s poor at instilling mutual respect is that people jump more quickly to anger or violence. (Culture Quotes)
Half of us are partly German! Half our language and culture, generally, in Anglo-Saxon terms, is German. (Culture Quotes)
Muslims shared many of the deep-seated characteristics of the Anglo-Saxon elite-an intuitive resentment of culture, an amicable contempt for women, a proclivity for riding about on horses, a pleasure in discipline, and a covert homophilia. (Culture Quotes)
People carry around with them internalization’s fixed-feature space learned early in life. Man is like other members of the animal kingdom , first, last and always a prisoner of his biological organism. No matter how hard he tries, it is impossible for him to the best himself of his own culture, where it has penetrated to the roots of his nervous system and determines how he perceives the world. (Culture Quotes)
If there is something I am arguing, it is a critique of science. Science has consistently denied the existence of consciousness other than human. Only in the last 20 years do we have acknowledgement of animal feeling or culture or experience. (Culture Quotes)
