No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.

In an unfamiliar culture, it is wise to offer no innovations, no suggestions, or lessons.

People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them.

“No material culture is found to move from west to east across the Indus”. [in the relevant time period]

There will be no development without education, no progress without culture.

Listen! There was never an artistic period. There was never an art-loving nation.

No one chooses which culture to be born into or can be blamed for how that culture evolved in past centuries.

The evolution of art has nothing to do with the revolution of society.

The knowledge of how to slay each other more swiftly is no true advance in civilization.

There can be no global culture while there are inhabitants deprived of the ability to read, to have access to the powers of the imagination released through the written word, through literature; deprived of the intellectual and spiritual bounty of libraries.

There ain't no such thing as civilization.

Cultures are not made from free-floating values. They are rooted in institutions and organizations.

There is no individualism in Eastern or oral cultures.

Really creative thinking does not occur with regard to problems.
