Neville Marriner quote: "So I've never found there was any particular separation..."

Civilization is not by means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt. Oscar Wilde
George MacDonald quote: "If we speak of direct means for the culture of the..."
If we speak of direct means for the culture of the imagination, the whole is comprised in two words--food and exercise. George MacDonald
Humans needed water or they would die, but dirty water killed as surely as thirst. You had to boil it before you drank it. This culture around tea was a way of tiptoeing along the knife edge between those two ways of dying. Neal Stephenson
And every historic effort to forge a democratic project has been undermined by two fundamental realities: poverty and paranoia. The persistence of poverty generates levels of despair that deepen social conflict the escalation of paranoia produces levels of distrust that reinforce cultural division.
