Quotes About Culture (And Their Impact)

Despite all of the importance of Socrates in the academic tradition, has any other philosopher had as much impact on contemporary American society as Marilyn Monroe? Or Oprah Winfrey? We've decided to make another category of quotes that don't fall explicitly into either Philosophy, History or Literature but nonetheless had a major impact on the cultural landscape of the time or since.

This category will include quotes from actresses, thought leaders, and even fictional movie figures that have come to dominate the cultural landscape. The hope is that we, however, do not compromise on accuracy. Having said that, if we do, please contact us and let us know if the quote is wrong or mistaken.

Additionally, unlike our history and philosophy sections, within our cultural analysis of the quotes, we'll depart from merely "objective" analysis and allow submissions to include a bit of themselves in the post (including what the quote means to them personally). However, if we become aware of any quote containing factual errors (be it with the date, attribution, or otherwise) we will not hesitate to update the post and include a notification on the relevant page of the error that has been corrected.

Finally, if you'd like to submit your own critical analysis of a quote, visit the contact page where you can submit your analysis.
