"Culture is, before all things, the unity of artistic style, in every expression of the life of a people." - Nietzsche

“Culture” is the name for all those things we practice without really believing in them, without taking them quite seriously." - Slavoj Zizek


Religion is the mother of culture. –René Girard
Cult-ure

Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Culture"

Can rules or tutors educate The semigod whom we await? He must be musical, Tremulous, impressional, Alive to gentle influence Of landscape and of sky, And tender to the spirit-touch Of man's or maiden's eye: But, to his native centre fast, Shall into Future fuse the Past, And the world's flowing fates in his own mould recast.

Deleuze on "Culture"

Deleuze mocks the formula: "Be yourselves - it being understood that this self must be that of others". - Culture is not a movement of normalization or conformity. - "Culture(...) is an involuntary adventure, the movement of learning which links a Sensibility, a Memory and then a Thought, with all the cruelties and violence necessary, as Nietzsche said, precisely in order to "Train a Nation of Thinkers" or to "Provide a Training for the Mind."

Cross-Cultural Dialogues...

The only way to effectively fight ​“Eurocentrism” is from within, mobilizing Europe’s radical-emancipatory tradition. In short, our solidarity with non-Europeans should be a solidarity of struggles, not a ​“dialogue of cultures” but a uniting of struggles within each culture. - Zizek, "The Need to traverse the Fantasy"
