““The genuine culture is not of necessity either high or low. It is merely inherently harmonious, balanced, self-satisfactory. It is the expression of a richly varied and yet somehow unified and consistent attitude toward life, an attitude which sees the significance attitude toward life, an attitude which sees the significance of any one element of civilization in its relation to all others. It is ideally speaking, a culture in which nothing is spiritually meaningless, in which no important part of the general functioning brings with it a sense of frustration, of misdirected or unsympathetic effort.””
