Education must, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.

Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. They take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion.

We also learn that this country and the Western world have no monopoly of goodness and truth and scholarship, we begin to appreciate the ingredients that are indispensable to making a better world. In a life of learning that is, perhaps, the greatest lesson of all.

The knowledge and understanding of the world which science gives us and the magnificent opportunity which it extends to us to control and use the world for the extension of our pleasure in it has never been greater than it now is.

But what is more, if we have succeeded in adding to the basic understanding of our universe and ourselves, we will have made a contribution to the totality of human culture.

We live in a world economically, socially, and culturally dependent on science not only functioning well, but being wisely applied.

Just as we acquaint ourselves with materials, and just as we must understand functions, we must become familiar with the psychological and spiritual factors of the day. No cultural activity is possible otherwise, for we are dependent on the spirit of our time.

The role of culture is that it's the form through which we as a society reflect on who we are, where we've been, where we hope to be.

It is not just the Great Works of mankind that make a culture. It is the daily things, like what people eat and how they serve it.

'Culture' is a finite segment of the meaningless infinity of the world process, a segment on which human beings confer meaning and significance.
