Culture Quotes

Michael Gove
Culture is like a smog. To live
within it, you must breathe some of it in and, inevitably, be
contaminated.
Richard K. Morgan

There are many things that black women can continue to do to help black folk. First, black women have historically been among the most vocal advocates for equality in our community. We must take full advantage of such courage by continuing to combat the sexism in our communities. Black women, whether in church, or hip-hop, don't receive their just due. Second, when black women are in charge of child-rearing, they must make ever so sure to raise black children who respect both men and women, and who root out the malevolent beliefs about women that shatter our culture.
Michael Eric Dyson

Terence McKenna

Ernest Cline
