“If all our political and intellectual elite offers by way of a national culture is "pop music, gambling, fashionable clothes or television," then we can neither mount a convincing intellectual defense against our enemies, nor hope to integrate intelligent, inquiring, and unfulfilled Muslim youths young men principally, of course to our way of life.” IfsMenWayYoungPoliticalCultureCoursesEnemyYouthTelevisionOffersClothesIntellectualIntelligentPopsDefenseYoung ManGamblingElitesConvincingFashionablePop MusicIntegratingInquiringNational CultureFashionable Clothes Author:Anthony Daniels
“Superheroes are also about immigrants. Superman, the prototype of all superheroes, is a prototypical immigrant. His homeland was in crisis, so his parents sent him to America in search of a better life. He has two names, one American, Clark Kent, and the other foreign, Kal-El. He wears two sets of clothes and lives in between two cultures. He loves his new country, but a part of him still longs for his old one.” StillsTwoBookCountryAmericaCultureNamesParentClothesCrisisComicImmigrantsComic BookSuperheroBetter LifeHomelandPrototypeKentTwo Cultures Author:Gene Luen Yang
“Therefore, when I look for a church, I look for the music that best fits me and the programs that best cater to me and my family.

This is the version of Christianity that largely prevails in our culture.

“Something I always wanted to do, to capture that later half of the '70s. It's like the early half of the '70s is still the '60s, in that there's still kind of a playfulness and inventiveness in terms of design and the things that were going on in the culture. The second half, it got much more commodified. It's possibly the ugliest era of architecture and clothes and design in the entire 20th century, from 1975 to '81 or '82.” KindStillsWantedCultureTermHalfCenturyDesignClothesArchitectureErasCapture20th CenturyPlayfulnessInventiveness Author:Daniel Clowes
