Material Culture Quotes

We face a conflict between civilisation and culture, which used to be on the same side. Civilisation means rational reflection, material wellbeing, individual autonomy and ironic self-doubt; culture means a form of life that is customary, collective, passionate, spontaneous, unreflective and irrational Picture Quote #1

I wrote a novel called ‘Blonde,’ which is about Norma Jean Baker, who becomes Marilyn Monroe, which I called a fictitious biography. That uses the material as if it were myth - that Marilyn Monroe is like this mythical figure in our culture Picture Quote #1

Stabilizing the euro is one thing, healing the culture that surrounds it is another. A world in which material values are everything and spiritual values nothing is neither a stable state nor a good society. The time has come for us to recover the Judeo-Christian ethic of human dignity in the image of God Picture Quote #1

Something that’s good in the mini-culture of ‘Happy Endings’ is that the goal is to try and make each other laugh. There is a pretty high bar, and you want to make the writers laugh, and you want to elevate what’s already great material - and also, we’re like, ‘Who is even watching this? Let’s just go for it.’ Picture Quote #1

The movement of abstract art... bears within itself at almost every point the mark of the changing material and psychological conditions surrounding modern culture Picture Quote #1

Being so deeply rooted in one place and culture allows a genuine writer to experiment wildly with the material without ever losing touch with its essence Picture Quote #1

Those too impressed with material things cannot hold their place n the world of culture; they are relegated to inferiority and ultimate death Picture Quote #1

Our culture now wonderfully, alchemically transforms images and history into artistic material. The possibilities seem endless and wide open Picture Quote #1

Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months Picture Quote #1

And yet, in a culture like ours, which is given to material comforts, and addicted to forms of entertainment that offer immediate gratification, it is surprising that so much poetry is written Picture Quote #1

The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals - its philosophers, its poets and its artists Picture Quote #1

Your basic person wants to talk about material culture, internet culture. I think about God, cats, nature Picture Quote #1
