Culture change means we will do things differently.

This great, though disastrous, culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.

Our culture is just a series of checks and balances. The whole idea that we're in a battle between tyranny and freedom - it's a series of pendulum swings.

When there is a huge force pressing down on freedoms, sub-cultures with more creativity and power are likely to form.

It's very, very hard to affect culture. And you can get surprised thinking you're farther down the path of change than you really are because, frankly, most of us like the way things are.

It's like a 'chicken or the egg' thing. We're all part of the culture. We're reflecting it; we're changing it. So, yeah, I think culture is always changing.

If we are to preserve culture we must continue to create it.

A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don't get paid.

Culture must have its ultimate aim in the metaphysical or it will cease to be culture.

We're right to say that a culture that can't tolerate free speech is... there are a wide range of positive human experiences that are not available in that culture. And we're right to want those experiences.
