Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“No amount of 'peace-building' will be able to last, nor will harmony and happiness be attained, in a society that ignores, pushes to the margins, or excludes a part of itself; it loses something essential. We must never, never allow the throwaway culture to enter our hearts! ... No one is disposable!”
Quote by -Pope Francis

Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“The culture and ideology fostered in this globalization process relate largely to “lifestyle” themes and goods and their acquisition; and they tend to weaken any sense of community helpful to civic life.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“No person, in any culture, likes to be bullied. No person likes living in fear because his or her ideas are different. Nobody likes being poor or hungry, and nobody likes to live under an economic system in which the fruits of his or her labor go perpetually unrewarded.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”

And so, in terms of setting the right tone and finding a way of presenting all of these things, that creates a cohesive whole and doesn't alienate the audience, is tough. That's a challenge. And I think the tone of a lot of shows is discovered through experimentation and actually making it. Eventually, it starts to cohere.
Quote by -Michael Sheen
For a culture that has such a problem with death, we seem to deal with it in a quite bizarre way. We see people shot, killed and blown up, and we find it funny and sexy and all those things. But, the reality of it is that every day people die, and people are really sad and they grieve and they go through a really difficult process with it.
Quote by -Michael Sheen
For me, what makes life enjoyable is having a shared culture and shared references.
Quote by -Michael Sheen

Quote by -Matthew Arnold
"Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world."
Quote by -Matthew Arnold
"Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection."
Quote by -Matthew Arnold

Quote by -Frank Lloyd Wright
"There's everything here for players and families to both experience the culture of Germany as well feel comfortable that this is a city that is similar to cities in the United States. And it's a perfect match: great restaurants, lots of entertainment, lot of things to do, a great hotel, great training facilities. Everything we want is here."
Quote by -Bruce Arena
"Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity, sweetness of temper -the peculiar blend of all these qualities is modesty. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women."
Quote by -Sathya Baba
"The most essential and fundamental aspect of culture is the study of literature, since this is an education in how to picture and understand human situations."
Quote by -Iris Murdoch
