Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.

Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world.

Travel early and travel often. Live abroad, if you can. Understand cultures other than your own. As your understanding of other cultures increases, your understanding of yourself and your own culture will increase exponentially.

Culture is a way of coping with the world by defining it in detail.

Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.

If you want to learn about a culture, you look at what buildings the people lived in but you also want to know about their cosmos.

You experience other cultures to give you a kind of shock that makes you look at your own culture. You appreciate it more as a result of being out of it, but you also realise there are some things lacking in your culture.

I think it's always important for academics to study popular culture, even if the thing they are studying is idiotic. If it's successful or made a dent in culture, then it is worthy of study to find out why.

I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.

Culture is important. Wars are fought over culture. It's not just about folks showing up and being hoity-toity. Culture is about definition.
