The four of us enjoyed a most wonderful family atmosphere filled with love and reciprocal devotion. Both parents were highly cultured and instilled in us their high appreciation of intellectual pursuit. It was, however, a typical Victorian style of life, all decisions being taken by the head of the family, the husband and father.

Rita Levi-Montalcini

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

Aldous Huxley

It is unacceptable that the system we rely on to develop children into well-adjusted, learned, cultured adults allows drones to dominate and increasingly devalues freethinkers.

Alexandra Robbins

My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

Amber Tamblyn

On my parents' scale of values, the more Western something was, the more cultured it was considered.

Amos Oz

Britons are good, though often brutal, colonists where they come into relations with entirely uncivilized tribes whose past is so remote as to be forgotten. But they trample with their heavy boots over the sensitive, delicate susceptibilities of an ancient, highly civilized and cultured nation, such as India.

Annie Besant

Until he lost all his money, my father was a successful north London Jewish businessman. He was unusual among his immediate family in that he was enormously cultured and had an incredible library.

Anthony Horowitz

The cultured man is an artist, an artist in humanity.

Ashley Montagu

Theater actually took time to pique my interest. It just wasn't a part of my upbringing. I don't have anyone in the arts in my family. I wasn't brought up particularly cultured. It was always TV and film for me.

Betty Gabriel

Even though I am from Jersey, not to put Jersey down, I like Jersey, but I think I'm more cultured.

Bitty Schram

Well, Winnepeg has everything to do with my music in the sense it was where I was born and raised, cultured and all that sort of thing. A lot of my experiences come from Winnepeg.

Chantal Kreviazuk

Artistic credentials are au courant in the important business of being seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, stupendously rich.

Charles Saatchi

Americans are much easier to please than Canadians. The American taste is less critical. Canadians are more cultured, they are more aware of the arts than Americans.

Chris de Burgh

I'm from South Carolina. I'm from a real cultured state, where there's still racism daily. Still, places are segregated.

DeAndre Hopkins

I feel like I'm cultured enough to fit into any environment.

Devin Booker

Science, it is said, no doubt has ameliorated the material conditions of human life, but is powerless to solve those moral and philosophical questions that interest cultured people so deeply.

Elie Metchnikoff

Partner dancing is a cultured act.

Eve Babitz

Most high-level models that I've ever met are actually well-travelled; they're cultured, and no guy laying a cheesy line on them is actually going to impact their world.

Hannah Simone

Most of my relationships were people in the business. Having said that, me and Tim don't really talk that much about work. He comes into my bit of the house every so often to vent but we don't really have very high, cultured conversations.

Helena Bonham Carter

Eyes and ears are poor witnesses to people if they have uncultured souls.

Heraclitus

What a thing, Europe. Europe! The cultured Europe! We are the barbarians, the Indians, the blacks, the southerners. How cynical is Europe. Chavez the tyrant! Chavez the strongman! Chavez, who wants to stay forever. While there, they have kings, my friend!

Hugo Chavez
