Culture Quotes

There’s not much high and low culture any more: there’s just mingling streams of art and what matters is whether it’s good art or bad art Picture Quote #1

There’s something retro about the pop culture references in the paintings, so I’d imagine it’s not as much a pop culture reference as a pop art reference Picture Quote #1

Now the culture is made of old things, it’s a collage. Art made out of art is not art. You’re supposed to make art out of life Picture Quote #1

Visual media is the dominant art form in our present day culture, whereas poetry is, at best, a proxy. Yet poetry and film are both dream factories Picture Quote #1

It’s funny now how much we look at - whatever you want to call it: art, design, culture stuff, film - online, and how in the online world, you’re instantly global Picture Quote #1

Art shows and the institutions end up being the couriers for culture for the next generation and are an important component as well. It may seem ironic from one perspective, but I think if you look at my overall strategy, it’s actually not out of step Picture Quote #1

Behind the criticism of fashion as an artistic medium is a highly ideological prejudice: against markets, against consumers, against the dynamism of Western commercial society. The debate is not about art but about culture and economics Picture Quote #1

I never really thought of myself as a musician. I’m not saying Sonic Youth was a conceptual-art project for me, but in a way, it was an extension of Warhol. Instead of making criticism about popular culture, as a lot of artists do, I worked within it to do something Picture Quote #1

There’s a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future Picture Quote #1

One culture I find fascinating to juxtapose against American culture is the culture of Germany. They’ve gone through a long process through their art, poetry, public discourse, their politics, of owning the fact of their complicity in what happened in World War II. It’s still a topic of everyday conversation in Germany Picture Quote #1

It’s a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it Picture Quote #1

Our culture already has a number of well known stories about artificial life and non-human intelligence. In ‘Exegesis,’ I’ve tried to not only tell a new and engaging story but also to comment on those well known stories through the details of my novel Picture Quote #1

Bill Watterson argued with his medium even as he eclipsed it. He was all too aware that no artistic expression better exemplifies our disposable consumer culture than the daily newspaper comic strip: today’s masterpiece is tomorrow’s birdcage lining Picture Quote #1

The arts and humanities teach us who we are and what we can be. They lie at the very core of the culture of which we’re a part Picture Quote #1

Higher educating is defaulting on its obligations to offer young people a quality and broad-based education. This is true in part because the liberal arts and humanities have fallen out of favor in a culture that equates education with training Picture Quote #1

Our culture is more shaped by the arts and humanities than it often is by politics Picture Quote #1

People take pride in being Irish-American and Italian-American. They have a particular culture that infuses the whole culture and makes it richer and more interesting. I think if we can expand that attitude to embrace African-Americans and Latino-Americans and Asian-Americans, then we will be in a position where all our kids can feel comfortable with the worlds they are coming out of, knowing they are part of something larger Picture Quote #1

Manga uses Japanese traditional structures in how to teach the student and to transmit a very direct message. You learn from the teacher by watching from behind his back. The whole teacher-master thing is part of Asian culture, I think Picture Quote #1

In American culture you leave home at 18. In the Asian culture, your parents don’t really want you to leave home. So my parents just thought I was going to be one of those kids. I was like, I’m never going to make a living at whatever I do. I just liked pretty things Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve written about family and things in ‘Taipei’ which could be considered Asian culture Picture Quote #1

Asian literature is evolving with the people. It’s always a reflection on what’s happening to the culture at large Picture Quote #1

I wanted to try to create characters that happen to be Asian but who are pretty different from those we generally see in our culture, in our commercial culture Picture Quote #1

Being a male capable of grunting, sweating, and not asking for directions, but not yet having conqured a women...in our culture, that wasn’t manhood, that was dorksville! Picture Quote #1

I ask the educational system, the parents, the church, and pillars of the community to help shape a new culture of honesty, patriotism, respect, discipline and service for young Filipinos Picture Quote #1

I interviewed a lot of people in India, and I asked my mother to send me a lot of Bengali books on the tradition of dream interpretation. It’s a real way for me to remember how people think about things in my culture Picture Quote #1

When I was at the CIA I asked my civilian advisory board to tackle some tough questions. Among the toughest: In a political culture that every day demands more transparency and more public accountability from every aspect of national life, could American intelligence continue to survive and succeed? That jury is still out Picture Quote #1

I thought if we could put our hard-working culture as traders into the asset management, it will be a great combination, and we did do that Picture Quote #1

Before anyone learns my last name, they always assume I have some type of Latin background in me somewhere. I love it! I think the Latin culture is sexy. It’s one of my goals to learn to speak Spanish one day; then I will really be able to fool people! Picture Quote #1

The attention deficit disorder of the culture is very distressing in America now and I think it puts a lot of things at risk, not just poetry Picture Quote #1

In 77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people’s attention spans are too short. Back then you had ‘Top Of The Pops’ and ‘Melody Maker,’ and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music Picture Quote #1
